There is no better best friend than my dad. He has been there through it all. The good and the bad. The happy and the sad. Whatever the circumstances are, I can always count on my dad and never feel disappointed. He is caring, hilarious, respectful, and crazy dad a girl can ask for. He will always carry a special place in my heart. And I really don't know what I would do if he wasn't such a major influence in my life. Even though 50 reasons aren't enough, these are the best 50 reason I can easily think of.
