All of my life, I have been told that I look just like my daddy. From his curly hair, dark brown eyes, tan skin and long features, there's no denying I am his child. In fact, many people have often said that it is scary how much I look, and act, like him--and acting like him is a pretty scary thing. He is hands-down the goofiest person I have ever met, but he has a serious side, too.
Since Father's Day is this month, I thought it would only be fitting to write about my daddy and what he means to me. I know I may be a bit partial, but I'm pretty sure he's the best one out there. This is for all of you females out there who are a "Daddy's Girl." I am sure you can relate to most, if not all, of these.
