Dear Daddy,
You are intelligent, you are kind. My
friend and my dad. My mentor and
my fan. Never too tired to teach me or
correct me. Always ready to give me
what I need and when I want something
you tell me I should earn it. Mum says
I am just like you. That's the best gift I
have. You say am bright I say you are
my light. You are never too busy for us. I
cherish every time that we talk. I may say
this often but it is never enough. I love
you sooo much daddy, today tomorrow
and forever!

travelling with you. The best place is
Eldoret. And when you get home I
remove your socks and then put news
for you to watch.
I love you.
From: Keane (5 yrs)
Thank you dad for taking care of
me.
I especially like it when you come
home early and we play football.
I also like it when you give me your
cologne. The one I like. One of my
favourite times is when we go to
Gachuriri and you let me drive.
And also when you take us out for
dinner or lunch and we eat, talk
and make jokes. I love you.
Your Eldest Son,

Dear Dad,
I enjoy playing with you. I also like
when you come home early or
pick me up. May God let you do
all your work successfully. Thank
you for paying school fees. May
the Lord guide you in the right path
forever. May God grant you what
you desire. Thank you for providing
for our family the basic needs. East
or West you’re the best.

I like when you drop me in school.
When you get home I like help-

To my lovely daddy
If I had the choice,
I would not have wanted anyone else
but you.
Every day I thank Heaven,
To have you like a daddy.
With your sword,
You protect me from wickedness,
With your shield,
Bad spells, you manage to protect me.
As a king or a rider,
Your heart, you let it speak,
To guide me to happiness and to instil
in me your values.
If I had the choice,
It is you I shall have pointed out,
You whom I shall have chosen to be
my Daddy.
I love you daddy.

To the superman, the hero among
heroes
When we were cold, You were there.
When we were afraid of the dark,
You were there.
When we lacked confidence in
ourselves, You were there.
If one day you are cold,
Whether you are afraid or lack
confidence in yourself,
We will be there too.
Because we want to give you all the
love you gave us.
We are proud of the Dad that God
has given us.
Happy father’s day. We love you.
