Dad,

I think by now you've figured out that I'm a total "Daddy's Girl." Ever since I was little, you have been right there by my side. This Father's Day, I hope you feel extra special and loved, because you deserve it.

I can't even begin to explain how blessed I am to have a dad as amazing as you. You're a constant support system for me in everything I do, and you adventure right along with me! I think it's safe to say that you're one of the most determined people I know. You have accomplished some really amazing things in your life so far, and, whether you know it or not, I am so immensely proud of you!

I give you a lot of credit for the person I have become. From your constant dad jokes that only you think are funny to your never-ending push for me to reach my fullest potential, every little thing you do has shaped me in some way.

Your motivation to pursue your dreams is so impressive to me, and it has shown me that I can do anything if I simply put my all into it. Your sense of humor has taught me that it's okay, and often good, to laugh at myself. Your love for my mom and the ways that you go out of your way for our family show me what I want my future family to look like. Your passion and fire for Christ shines in ways that you don't even see and proves to me just how joyful life can really be.

I could go on talking forever about how much you mean to me, and how I won because God gave me the best dad in the world. But instead, I'll just say thank you.

Thank you for knowing how to make me laugh, even when your jokes aren't funny.

Thank you for raising me to be a woman of Christ.

Thank you for my sense of humor and my creative spirit.

Thank you for adventuring with me and pursuing my passions alongside me.

Thank you for being strong when I need you, and thank you for being vulnerable and showing me that even the strongest men in the world are human, too.

Thank you for being my role model and leading through your actions.

Thank you for always encouraging me and helping me find ways to pursue my dreams (even when I have no idea what those dreams are...)

Thank you for loving me through all my phases (the good, the bad, and the awkward).

Thank you for supporting me no matter what, but also for helping me see things in a realistic light.

Thank you for guiding and giving me the confidence to make my own decisions.

Thank you for simply being there.

Thank you for letting me spread my wings.

Thank you for being my best friend.

I hope you know just how much I love you, and, even when I'm not always right there with you, I will always be your little girl. I'll always be the little girl who thinks my daddy hung the moon. I'll always look up to you, and you'll always be my hero. There will never come a day when I won't need you. I love you, Dad.

Love Always,

Your Little Girl
