Dear Daddy,
I know we've had our ups and down, but it has only made us stronger. I never knew how much I relied on you until I left for college. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed spending time with you until I no longer got to see you every day. I didn't know I would miss you so much after only being a way for at most a couple weeks at a time. This letter is to thank you for not only being you, but also for everything you do for me.
Thank you for loving me before any other guy, and for loving me even more when my heart is broken. Your love has never faded, and I have never doubted your love for me. Thank you for working your butt off every day so that I can not only have the things I need, but also the things I want. Thank you for every dime you have ever given me. Thank you for spending time with me.
Hunting season is my favorite time of the year because I get to spend so much time with you. I enjoy early mornings in the blind with you, eating beef steak sticks, and listening to nature while waiting for sunrise. Thank you for teaching me. Teaching me how to drive, shoot a gun, gut a deer, and cook. Thank you for all of the life lessons you have taught me over my nineteen years of life.
Thank you for telling me stories. I will never get tired of hearing about your childhood and the funny things you did as a teenager. I really miss the hunting stories at dinner because nobody can tell and act out a story quite like you. Thank you for teaching me responsibility and holding me accountable for my actions. Even though I got tired of going places for you sometimes, I learned from it. I now know how to get places faster, and I know my way around Walmart really well. Thank you for not doing everything for me. Thank you for being silly with me. Thank you for dancing with me on the patio, and for tolerating my horrible music. For listening to throwbacks with me, and jamming out with me in the car. Thank you for taking funny pictures with me and not getting mad when I I post them for your birthday.
Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on and a helping hand. A protector and my number one man.Thank you for the cuddles when I'm sad and the big bear hugs. Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick, and for dealing with me when I'm being a witch. Thank you for believing in me and being my biggest fan. Thank you for supporting me in dance and being my coach. Thank you for fixing my hair and painting my toes. Thank you for being the coolest dad around, and treating my friends as your own. Thank you for calling and checking on me. Thank you for talking to me almost everyday. Thank you for just being you. I'm so glad God chose you to be my dad, and for me to be your daughter. I will always be your little girl . I love you to the moon and back.
Butterfly kisses and hugs,
Daddy's Girl
