Happy 80th birthday to my wonderful Dad-Tatko

My wonderful Tatko became 80, unbelievable and incredible!
Please, be healthy and enjoy every minute of every day!

You are the most honest person, I ever have known, who would risk to suffer but always says the truth!
You are looking after all of us, mainly after Mama, for what I will be grateful forever!
You are the best male cook, I have ever known, with your passion for food!
You taught me millions of good things, hope that I have lived up to your hopes...
You taught me that family and friends are to love and cherish!
You taught me that to be Bulgarian is a blessing!
Thank you.

I love you so very much
