Dad,

Where do I even begin?

You are my dad, my twin, my inspiration, my first love.

Let me just start out by saying that I am an extremely lucky person. I grew up with both of my parents who were very supportive of me.

My dad is the reason that I work so hard to get ahead in life. The person who has literally sacrificed everything so that my siblings and I could have a better life than he did.

I cannot wait to graduate next year because all of my accomplishments are thanks to him and my mom pushing me to do my best all of these years.

My dad always taught me to appreciate everything that I have because he never had it. You name it - new clothes, food, an education. My Dad has worked hard his whole life for his family and I am forever grateful.

My dad is not just a hard worker, but he is hilarious. He always knows how to light up a room. He is always the life of the party and he is unapologetic of that. My dad is not afraid to be himself and I love that about him.

I have so many wonderful memories with my Dad that makes me appreciate my childhood. Whether it was playing sports outside like soccer, basketball or beach volleyball. My dad can do it all. He is so good at playing sports.

My dad is an amazing cook. Even though I don't live with my dad anymore, I always love to go over to eat for dinner. My Dad makes the best Mexican food. Honestly, I have never had Mexican food as good as Dad's. Don't even get me started on his salsa, it is amazing.

There are so many great things about my dad that I love so much. He is kind. He is so smart.

Papi, quiero que sepas que tu eres mi inspiracion. I am so proud of all of your accomplishments and just know that I will always be here for you.

Te quiero mucho.

Love,

Tu Prieta
