To My Amazing Father Who I Am So Blessed To Have

Happy Fathers' Day, Dad!

To My Amazing Father Who I Am So Blessed To Have
Debbie Thompson

Dad,

When it comes to our relationship we both are not the best at expressing our feelings at all, actually we are pretty horrible at it. But, that is okay because I know you love me and always will and that goes the same for me.

Thinking about all the gifts I could buy for you on your special day does not do any justice for the way I feel towards you. All the Star Wars merchandise in the world (yes, you are addicted) will never reveal or prove how much you mean or are worth to me.

You are the provider for our family, and an amazing one at that. Every single day you provide a home cooked meal, a roof over my head, and all the clothes and shoes a girl could ever wish for. There has never been a time in my life where you have not done every single thing in your power to provide for me and the rest of our family. I am forever grateful for your hard work, strength, and love that you have for our family.

Not a day goes by where I do not take the time to think about all you have done for me. Countless amounts of rides everywhere and anywhere, sports games, and practices are just a few examples about what you do for me on a daily basis. I often find myself wondering where I would be and this family would be without you. I know we do not spend every single second together and now we find ourselves spending less and less time together, but I have never stopped loving or caring about you.

From the day I was born you have always been there for me guiding me through life. You have never let me down. You have always been by my side, wanting nothing but the absolute best for me. I must admit, you are pretty tough, but I know that toughness in you only comes from your heart. All you have ever wanted was for me was to reach my highest potential and be the absolute best version of myself. Thank you for showing me that I deserve nothing but the best and that I can achieve anything in life with the dedication you have taught and blessed me with.

You are an amazing man, son, father, uncle, and husband and I am forever grateful to have a man like you in my life. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for always loving me. Thank you for shaping me into the woman I am today. Kudos to you and mom for raising three amazing, healthy, hard working, and loving kids. You definitely are the father of the year this year, and every other year to come. Especially since you have blessed me with your brains, humor, and of course, beauty.

Always, always, always remember that I love you so much, dad. Don’t ever forget about how much I truly love and care for you. The love I have for you will always be there, no many how many arguments or disagreements we have. But, of course we would have way less if you finally began to realize that I am ALWAYS RIGHT!

I love you, Dad.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
