No matter how old she may be, sometimes a girl just needs her dad.

The Thank You My Dad Really Deserves
Brittney Wedlock

Dear Dad,

Life would not be the same without your support, love, and cheesy jokes. You’re always making me laugh (or at least trying hehe) when I’m upset. I’m so glad God chose you to be my dad and help me through life. When I think about how you were almost taken from us, I am reminded of how grateful I am that you weren’t. I probably don’t say it enough, but thank you Dad.

Thank you for always being there. You have never made me go a day without a dad and for that I am most thankful. From cheering on my grades to taking care of my car to giving me comfort and advice when I needed it. When my "low tire pressure" light went off, you were the first person I called. You always make sure I know I can talk to you about anything. You always tell me how proud you are of my hard work in my education and good grades. Thank you Dad.

Thank you for helping me set standards for my future husband. For 20 years I have watched how you have loved and taken care of us. You work hard, love us, spoil us, keep up everything around our house, and give 100% support always. You have shown me and continue to show me the qualities that I should look for in my future husband and father of my children. Thank you Dad.

Thank you for loving me. Your love is bulletproof. You have loved me through multiple arguments and stages of attitude and sass. You have seen me at my absolute worst and continued to give your love unconditionally. Growing up you always fussed me for being sassy, yet your love remained no matter how rude or disrespectful I was. Thank you Dad.

Thank you for giving me a good work ethic. You taught me that in order to get what is important to me, I should work for it. You taught me not to wait for things to be handed to me. You also showed me that just because I’m a girl does not mean I can’t do certain things like when I help you rotate my tires and you give me pointers on taking care of my car. You taught me never to quit or give up. Thank you Dad.

Thank you for spoiling me. You never hesitated to give me all that you could. You always made sure I was set for whatever I needed to do and wherever I needed to go. You always worked hard to make sure I had everything I needed to be successful and happy and you still do. Thank you Dad.

Thank you Dad for giving me unconditional love and being the Dad that little girls dream of having. As I grow up, I notice how many people don’t get the privilege of having an amazing dad like the one I have. So once again, thank you Daddy.

XOXO

Love, Your Baby Girl

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.

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.
