What are the sacrifices made by your father for your family.

Illustration of a father and child

Answer:

My father happily sacrificed all his comfort for all of us.

He is a good father who is most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed and yet one of the most valuable asset of a family.

If my mother is the epitome of love, my father is the epitome of sacrifice. He gave me a good education in spite of his poverty.

He gave the greatest gift to us - the confidence.

He is always there for us to encourage and inspire us. He always patient and understanding. .
