I am definitely daddy's little girl. My dad and I have always been close. I feel like the luckiest girl, growing up with the best dad in the whole world. He has been at every dance recital, every award ceremony and every graduation. He was my shoulder to cry on when the girls in school were mean to me or whenever someone hurt my feelings.
Even though he plays the role of dad, to me he is more than that. My daddy is my role model and my inspiration. He taught me that you have to work for what you want. Nothing in life comes easy. My daddy grew up poor as dirt and immigrated to the United States with only a couple of hundred dollars to his name. His story has inspired me to always go after what I want. He has taught me to always follow your dreams and reach for the stars. I can say that I am who I am today because of his guidance, support, and motivation. Here is a little thank you letter to show you how much I love you:
Thank you, Daddy, for loving me to the moon and back. You are the funniest man I know. Even though your English isn't always perfect and sometimes I have no clue what you are saying, it makes me laugh and love you even more. Thank you for your random texts throughout the day that don't even make sense. When are you going to learn that phones have auto correct?
Thank you for opening my eyes up to the world. You have taught me that traveling is the best way to try new things. There is always something new to see and something new to learn. Thank you for driving almost everywhere we go. I will never forget our 13-hour car ride to New York City. I promise one day I will get over my fear of flying.
Thank you for always listening to my boring stories. I know I talk a lot, but you always make the time to listen. Thank you for laughing at my cheesy jokes. I know I am not as funny as you, but I try to be.
My confidence isn't always at an all time high and sometimes I get down, but I always know I can go to you to be happy again. Thank you for always reminding me how beautiful, smart and kind I am.
I know sometimes we have our disagreements, but I know you are just looking out for me and you only want the best for me. You are the most important man in my life. You have shaped me into the smart, confident and independent women I am today.
You have shown me more love than any other man I have ever known. I would be lucky if the man I marry is half the man you are. You have set the bar pretty high for my future husband.
Honestly, there are no matter of words or thank you's to express how much I love you. You are my best friend, my inspiration and my hero. I love you to the moon and back.
Sincerely,
Michelle
