Dear Dad, It Is Going To Be Okay
Josh Willink

Dear Daddy,

The older I get, the closer and closer I get to being able to live on my own. Start my own life and TRY to make good choices by myself. I know that my life gets hectic and I seem to be drifting away, but don't get sad, I will be back. Here are a couple things I want you to always know and remember while I keep getting older.

I love you.

No matter how old I get you will always be the number one male in my life. No matter what I will always be daddy's little girl. The older I get it seems we get to hang out and talk less and less . I am always running around at school and getting way too involved in stuff. I am sorry if it seems as though I am drifting away. I love you and always will no matter how old I get.

I am so thankful for what you have done for and what you are yet to do.

I know that I am a handful and I make mistakes that annoy you. Even though we have been through our tough times, we are still going strong. I have burned the bridge between us too many times to count, but you still love me and take care of me at the end of the day. Thank you for everything you have already done for me and thank you even more for what you are yet to do. I love you.

I can do this.

You have taught me well. I know I will fall and make mistakes the older I get, but I got this. I know that no matter what, you will always just be a call away. I want you to always remember that you have raised me to be who I am today. Don't worry about me, Dad, I am going to be okay.

You were right.

I know that I was a pain the butt as a child. I now know that you were right. About what, you ask? Everything. Boys are the biggest thing you were right about. There are so many guys out there that only want one thing, but someday I will find that guy who will love me for me and I will be happy. You were right about jobs, friends, and even my education. Dad, as much as I don't want to say this, you were right.

I wouldn't be where I am today without you.

You are my hero. I love you dearly and you have taught me so much. You have never made me feel like I don't belong here. You have loved me like your own, ever since I met you. A lot has changed about me in the last couple years, in good ways. You have helped me shape into who I am today and who I am yet to be. All the achievements I have achieved couldn't have been done without you.

I am a handful. I am aware.

I promise I will do better.

If I ever seem to be falling behind, I will get better. I am figuring my life out. Sometimes I may drift, but I will come back. I am trying to make you proud of me, Dad. It will take time. Please, always be patient with me.

I love you and every day I am getting older, so are you. You will always be my hero and I love you. I am not going anywhere. I am just trying to make you proud of the girl you have been spending years raising.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
