Thank you, Dad.

Without you, I would not have been able to get so far and accomplish everything I have accomplished. You are the most important man in my life, and I don't know what I would do without you.

This one day out of the year, I am going to be especially thankful for everything you've done for me to make me the person I am today. Without you, I don't know where I would be.

Thank you for putting a roof over my head, food in the fridge, a warm bed to sleep in at night in my room and much much more. You have worked so hard the past 18 years and well before that, and I am forever grateful for you. You have always put your family first and never fail to be there for us when we need it.

Thank you for bringing me to lunch after I ran out of money and meal swipes at college. Thank you for coming to handle the financial aid office because I did not want to do it myself. Thank you for always answering my calls when I'm panicking about all the college things I have to do.

Thank you for encouraging me to do my best and supporting every single one of my dreams. Thank you for paying for the violin, the races and the countless different classes I want to take. Thank you loving us all unconditionally, even though we are all pains in the asses (even Mom).

Thank you for showing up and being there exactly when we need you. Thank you for never being too busy for any of our problems, and thank you for being the best dad a girl could ask for.

Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world. Here is an acrostic poem I wrote especially for you.

Fantastic

Absolutely hilarious

The best

Has funny jokes

Eats everything

Right all the time

Oh, and I love you.
