Father's Day: H.H. Sheikh Mohammed remembers 'their virtues, their lives'

In a post to mark Father's Day, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said we remain a reflection of their contributions long after they are gone.

"We remember their virtue... we remember their life and their journey... we are what they sowed... we are what they made and built... we are what they left behind," he wrote, alongside a beautiful video.

في يوم الأب... نستذكر فضلهم .. نستذكر سيرتهم ومسيرتهم .. نحن ما زرعوا .. نحن ما صنعوا وبنوا .. نحن ما تركوا .. رحمهم الله .. وحفظ الله من بقي منهم . pic.twitter.com/m5HJDgmLwn
