Your parents are supposed to be the people that are your role models and help you become successful in life. For me, my dad is one of my biggest supporters, and would give up anything for me to be the best that I can be. He's hard on me and a bit overprotective, but that's only because he doesn't want to see me get hurt. He wants me to go far in life so I can "take care of him in his old age." He does the most for me and I never truly appreciated it until now. Dad, this is a thank you to you.

Thank you for never letting me give up on something when it becomes too hard. I'll complain and maybe have a breakdown or two when something becomes too difficult that I feel the need to quit. You are always there to make sure I keep on pushing through and reminding me that I can do anything that I set my mind to. You always remind me that my past is not my future, and making something of myself will help me out in the long run.

Thank you for providing me with everything I need and more. You sacrifice things for yourself to make sure I get everything I need and the occasional things I want. You're always there to help me experience new things whether it's financial help or not, and I can't thank you enough for putting me first when you should be putting yourself first. I will always be grateful for your endless support. I can't wait to repay you one day for everything that you gave up just for me to have a good life.

Lastly, thank you for being the dad I've always needed. You are truly the better parent, and I will never be able to thank you enough for always looking out for me and helping realize what is best. I know I don't say it enough, so here it is. Thank you for being the best dad someone could ever ask for.
