Happy Father’s Day, Papá. You showed up. Every single day. Fields that didn’t care, sun that didn’t quit, fifty years of proving that dignity is something you carry, not something you’re given. Everything I am traces back to you. You didn’t just chase the American dream. You handed it to me, already built. I love you more than words.
Feliz Día del Padre, Papá. Te presentaste. Cada día, sin falta. Campos sin misericordia, sol sin descanso, cincuenta años demostrando que la dignidad se carga por dentro, no te la regala nadie. Todo lo que soy viene de ti. No solo perseguiste el sueño americano. Me lo entregaste ya construido. Te quiero más de lo que alcanzan las palabras.
– Robert Larios
“Happy Father’s Day to a man who puts everything before himself.”
– For Jonathan Luevano
“Our dad is the kind of grandpa every child dreams of having — loving, caring and always ready for the next adventure. Whether he’s taking his granddaughters to the park, Disneyland, the mountains, or the fair, he fills their lives with laughter, memories and unconditional love. He’s the first person they want to call when something goes wrong, and the tears they cry when leaving his house say more than words ever could about how deeply they adore him. Happy Father’s Day Dad and Grandpa! Love, all your girls.”
– Julian Garcia, Public Works/StreetsLA
“A father’s guidance, sacrifice and love never go unnoticed. Today we celebrate you.”
– For Jorge Carmona, LADWP
“Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for all of the hard work and sacrifices you make for us and our family. You’ve taught us the value of hard work and always encouraged us to chase our dreams. We appreciate everything you do and love you so much. Love you, Brianna and Brittany”
– For Juan Duran, Public Works/Sanitation
“Although my dad is no longer with us – this is my second year without him – I want to pay tribute to him for being a great role model to us, his four kids, all City employees. He was a great, present father – loving, fun and supportive.”
– Ivonne Rosillo Jacome, Rec and Parks
“To the best father and husband! We love you.”
– Adriana Baez for Alejandro Baez
