To the man who brushed my hair, coached the softball and basketball teams, drove me everywhere, attended every sports, musical, and theater event, hosted sleep overs, encouraged me to pursue my dreams, bought me make up, made it possible for me to go to college, put a roof over my head and food on the table, and loved me unconditionally. This one’s for you daddio.

I don’t tell you enough, but I love you. I may not always seem like I appreciate you, but I really do so much. You’re my best friend, dad. I tell you everything. You’re the best man i’ve ever known and I know so many others who could say the same thing.

Thank you for sacrificing your time to raise me & my sisters on your own. You had to be both a mom and a dad. To be honest, you make a mean spaghetti & crock pot chicken!! Thank you for all of the opportunities you’ve given us. I would not be who I am if it wasn’t for you. You truly are the best dad in the world.

You’re the most hardworking man this world has ever known and you’re so selfless. I can’t even begin to explain the amount of time and effort you have put into me & my sisters lives. You sacrificed so much for us. For that, i am forever grateful.

Thank you for being your goofy self and always singing along to any John Melloncamp, Johnny Cash, Ole Crow Medicine Show, & Willie Nelson song that comes on. Thank you for watching Star Wars with me on repeat, being a Harry Potter geek, letting us have 2 puppies, and just spending time with me when you can. There’s no better dad, than you.

I love you so much, daddio.

Thank you for being you.
