My dad, Francis Yepa. He died about 3 years ago of colon cancer. He was diabetic and not in the best of shape, but he was the strongest man alive. He never complained about being sick. He was the best dad and he was the best grandfather to my daughter, Ji Hae. I miss you so much, Daddy!...And my mom, Yong Suk Yepa, the strongest woman alive!
