 Normally, you write a tribute to someone
until after that person had passed away. However, since I am not writing
it primarily for the rest of the world, but instead, for the very persons
I am paying tribute to, I am writing it now, June 2005. Although the
syntax of the text is mostly in past tense, my parents are still alive and
well.
My parents are very special to me. I could say that
I owe them almost in its entirety what I am today. Few other persons have
had a dramatic impact on my formation; and most of their influence has
come from real life experience. It is said that deeds speak louder than
words. So they taught me much more with what they did in life than what
they said to me. They already gave me all the inheritance I will ever
need.
It was during our darkest period in life that they
excelled in educating me and my brother. They did an outstanding job, it
was their finest hour. This is my recollection of these times:
