We can all probably name moments in our life where our dads have been the one person to hold us together. We can all imagine them cheering you on and taking proud pictures as you get your college acceptance letter. Dad’s truly are the best, here are a few reason why…
1.He is your biggest cheerleader
He will be at every sporting event, in stands screaming about how #18 is his daughter and how proud he is. He took pictures for every dance, making sure everyone agreed with him that you had the most beautiful dress. He was at graduation, taking more pictures as you made your way across the stage praying didn’t trip and fall.
2. He will prepare you for the real world
Interviews, problematic situations, budgets, housing. You name it, he can help you out. He calls you before interviews to make sure you are prepared. He helps you figure out housing situations, making sure you find the best place. He helps you budget and figure out money, cause it’ll take a miracle to stop spending money. He’s there for it all, making sure you prepared and ready to adult.
3. He knows the mind of a boy better than you do

If you fail a test, make a regrettable decision, or get in a fight with your best friend he will be there to cheer you up with lots of lunch dates. He will make sure you know your worth is not in the grades, or the past mistakes. He will make sure you know that he thinks you are the best human on the planet and anyone would be lucky to have you as their best friend.
5. You will always be his little girl
Whether you are his oldest, youngest, or only daughter, you are his little girl. You are his pride and joy. He holds you to a standard that no one else does. He makes sure you are doing your best and makes sure he knows you make him proud. Even when you signing the lease to your first apartment, he still only sees the little first grader that would sit on the couch and snuggle up next to him during family movies.
Every girl has those moments growing up where you want to kick and scream at everything your parent says. You think they are ruining your life. You think they are out to get you. Then you get to college and realize they were actually not doing that all and you were just a problematic child. For me, I had multiple moments like this with both parents.
