Dad, if one thing's true, it's that I don't thank you enough for all the things you've done for me in my life. From singing me to sleep when I was young, to helping me fill out my college applications, you've been by my side since day one and I'll forever be thankful that I was raised by someone as great as you. So dad, here's 13 of the endless amount of things I'd like to thank you for.
1. Your knowledge of how to fix absolutely anything
It doesn't even matter what the problem is, odds are you know how to fix it and I'm forever thankful you're there to help me.
2. Saving me whenever I had car trouble
This happened (and still happens) quite often. From a dead battery to the breaks being sketchy and feeling like they weren't going to work, you were always (and still are) there to help.
3. Planning the best family trips
You are a pro at putting together the most amazing family vacations, which have been where the majority of my favorite memories are from.
4. Loving my friends like they’re your own kids
You welcome all my friends into the family and love them like your own, which is a pretty great thing.
5. Listening to my favorite music in the car
Whether it's pop, rap, or Broadway, you always let me steal the aux and play my own jams (as much as you may get annoyed by it).
6. Helping me with my school work
And not getting annoyed with me when I literally didn't understand anything (especially when I needed help with freshman year history).
7. Your sense of humor and constant sarcasm
Thank God there's someone else out there to join in on my sarcasm and jokes.
8. Making fun of my sister with me
There's no one else I would want to tease and torment my older sister with other than you.
9. Exposing me to sports when I was younger
I owe my love of sports to you.
10. Teaching me how to drive
Not just teaching me, but also staying patient and not making me panic behind the wheel.
11. Trying to keep up with trends
From learning what "on fleek" means (and actually using it in context) to doing the most outrageous dance moves, you are always keeping up with the latest trends.
12. Your cooking skills
You're one hell of a cook. Especially that grilled cheese... 10 out of 10. Hands down.
13. Being a good example of what a loving and respectful man looks like
I can only hope that one day I find a man who is just as amazing as you. However, that might be pretty tough because you've set the bar so high!!
