Sometimes we are so busy in our day-to-day lives that we forget to thank the people in our lives that make each day a little easier. I have many people in my life who help me through my daily struggles, but there is one person in particular that I would like to give a big thanks to: my dad.
So here are just a few of the things I would like to thank him for.
1. Always comforting me through hard times.
It does not matter if it is the middle of the night you are always available to listen to my problems and to comfort me through them.
2. Being overprotective.
Although at the times I wanted to kill you for being rude to some of my boyfriends, you were always right about them in the end.
3. Spending too much money on me.
The newest bag, shoes, pants, dress, it does not matter you always do your best to give me the nicest things, even when I feel like I do not deserve it.
4. Working hard everyday.
You put in long hours at the office and deal with the hard commute and do whatever it takes to give your family the best possible life. You are so selfless.
5. Being a role model.
Just by being yourself, you continue to show me the importance of hard work and never giving up on myself.
6. Teaching me what a true gentleman is.
With simple gestures, like always holding doors open and pulling the car around during a snowstorm, you show me what I should look for in a man and how I deserve to be treated.
7. Loving me through my horrible teenage phase.
You never gave up on me no matter how unbearable I was to be around, or how many horrible things I said. You proved you knew me better by always knowing I did not mean it and that I loved you just the same.
8. Never giving up on me.
There have been plenty of times in my life when I wanted to give up on myself, but you never let me. Through some of the hardest times of my life, you were always there lifting me up and telling me I could do it. I am lucky to say I have someone like you I can always count on.
Thank you, Dad for not only being an amazing parent, but also being an amazing best friend. You are one of the most incredible people I know, and I feel lucky each day to say I am your daughter.
