Dad (diddy), this one is for you...
Well, it is Tuesday, and mom and I are on our girl’s trip. Today, we woke up to a day at sea which is just what I needed. I already know the day is going to be packed with typical cruise activities including the mixology competition (don’t worry I will yell “needs more liquor” loud enough for the both of us) and other games to get everyone on-board comfortable and relaxed. While it sounds like another normal vacation, it will be different because you are not there.
I wish there was a word good enough to describe how grateful I am to have you has my dad.
Thank you for everything and I truly mean everything. From pretending to spank me when I was little to letting me come swap my car for Blue whenever I am home and absolutely everything in between. The work you put in to provide for our family is truly unmeasurable. You constantly show me what I need to look for/want in a man, and I really feel sorry for my future husband because I know he will never compare to you. You have shown Trey and I that mistakes are going to happen, but all that matters is how you come back from your mistakes. Thank you for making sure Trey and I were close growing up. When I was younger I thought this we pointless because he would never be friends with his little sister. But now Trey and I are closer than ever before and our relationship means the world to me.
Thank you for teaching me to absolutely love football.
You are the one who taught me to love Georgia Football. This meant being a true fan and cheering them on through all the good and bad seasons (mostly bad, but that’s okay). I remember sitting on the couch, with you, asking questions trying to learn the game I could tell clearly meant so much to you. Who knows where I would be today with that undying love for UGA. I now attend the greatest university, in my opinion, all because Georgia was important to you and I was raised to love them and could not imagine going anywhere else.
I could write page after page after page of the things you have done for me in my 19 years, but it will never be enough. Whether it be from the funny Snapchats I get from you or the encouraging texts you always continue to make me feel loved. Don’t tell mom, but I will always be a daddy’s girl!
Lots of love,
Red
