Dear Dad,

Here I am, seven hours away at college, but I'm still your princess. There is nothing I want more right now than to be back at home on a daddy daughter date with you. I miss you so much, sometimes I don't know what I am doing here away at college. I will always be your little girl, even if I'm not that little girl playing dress up anymore. I remember making you dance with me while I pretended to be Cinderella.

Maybe I will find my prince one day, but you'll always be my king.

I remember you letting me apply makeup to your face. The things you do for your daughter.

I love singing in the car with you to my favorite Taylor Swift songs, or should I say OUR favorite. I also remember you stealing them from my car and finding them in your car. ;)

I remember you supporting me at all my high school tennis matches being my number one fan always.

You were a big part of shaping my childhood, and for all the happy times I thank you.

I remember you being there to pick me up when I would come home from school crying cause I had an awful day. You have always had open arms.

I also remember the day you got diagnosed with cancer. I remember the tears, I remember the heartache, and I remember asking God "why?" I didn't understand. I remember the next eight months of my life feeling like an emotional rollercoaster that was stuck at the bottom. The tears kept coming, and no they weren't the happy kind.

But I do remember the day I found you received the news of being tumor free. Oh, how I remember the happy tears.

I remember seeing you be the strongest man alive, inside and out.

I have seen you be a man of character with qualities that I one day want my husband to have.

I want to say thank you Dad.

I love you.
