To My Dad

Even dads need to be recognized

To My Dad
kayla whitcher


Alright I want to give a big shout out to my dad, I know most girls have a better bond with their mother then they do their father which is normal. I just feel that dads don't get recognized for the things they do. My dad is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet, well at least in my eyes he is the best. My dad, to me is someone I can look up and admire, he has taught me so many things through out my life it is crazy to even think about. He is a man that has taught me that life just doesn't hand you things, you have to be able to work for them. Sure my dad and I have had our fights I would yell at him he would yell at me, but in the end we would always be able to say sorry to each other and move on. He has shown me what it means to be a good a person and that sometimes you mess up in life, but you can't let it keep you down you have to get back up brush yourself off and keep going. The most important thing that me dad has done for me is not given up on me, neither of my parents have given up on me. My dad has helped me understand a lot of things about what is going on in the world, and has made me think about what my future is going to look like. So to other people he might look like just a dad that loves his daughter and wants the best for her, even if she doesn't agree with what he wants her to do, but to me he is the dad that has never given up on me and is also pushing me to do better, be better, and work harder. I see see a man who is not only my father, but a man who cares about the people that are around him and will do everything in his power to makes sure the people in his life are happy. I will never be abel to repay my dad for what he has done fore me through out these years, but the best thing I can do for him is take the lessons that he has taught and continue to g through life listening and learning. I know it is jus as scary to see me grow up as it is for me to grow up, in one eye he will see me as the adult i am becoming, but in the other eye I will be his little girl that will always need his protection.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
