You are my best friend. You are the person I can turn to when things seem as if they are going downhill. I cannot put into words how much I truly appreciate your advice and words of wisdom. Though there are times that we argue, I still appreciate and take in every work that you say. You’ve helped form me into the young woman that I am today, and I am sure without you that would not have happened.

I love your funny, silly, and sometimes ridiculous jokes. I do believe there is such a thing as “dad jokes”. Sometimes you embarrass me, but I know it’s out of love. You know all the ways to make me annoyed, but in the end we both laugh at the nonsense. You are a joy to be around, and I am so happy that I get to call you my dad. You can make me laugh and cry at the same time. You know me better than anyone else. Honestly, I don’t think anyone could ever compare to you. Thank you.

You answer all of my questions and are always willing to help me whenever I need it. Truthfully, this part right here is probably what makes me a “daddy’s girl” the most. Whenever I’m feeling inquisitive and wanting to know something, you let me know. If I’m screaming at the top of my lungs at 3am because I see a bug, you come to the rescue. I don’t think there’s many who would do what you do for me. I feel so blessed and honored to be able to call you my father.

From the sincerity of my heart, thank you for all you do. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for guiding me to where I am today. Thank you for always being willing to help me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you always showing me you care. Thank you for knowing me better than anyone else. Thank you for constantly being able to be there for me. Thank you for everything. Truly, THANK YOU.

I love you so much,

Your not so little girl anymore
