Stop Crying and Listen to the Music
Autor Gary Tannus Nassif'en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2008
Where else will he go?
What else will he become with his new found powers?
My father was always an honorable friend, relative, father and husband. He gave 150%.Every Lebanese-American I have ever known, first and foremost were my father and mother, have projected respectability and grace. Dad wanted me to be perfect and a fine American. Unfortunately, his methods were wrong in shaping me - but he never knew it. As he said so many times, Gary, I'm from the school of hard knocks with no education. I want you to have everything and be all that I couldn't be.
