From first glance, there is a special bond between a father and a daughter. A bond that never can be broken. Boyfriends can come and go, but your dad is there through it all. I think that's why most dad's get emotional when their daughters get boyfriends because they feel like they're getting replaced.
There is no one who could ever replace my dad.
My dad is the person that knows how to make me laugh. He's always cracking jokes, which almost always results in a giggle or a full out laugh. If he's not making jokes, then he's probably talking to himself or talking some weird nonsense, which is always entertaining. There's never a dull moment.
My dad is the person I vent to. Whether its work rants or something else, he is always there to listen. My dad is the person I go to for advice. He's experienced more of life than I have, and always has words of wisdom to offer. I appreciate his words.
My dad is the person that kills spiders for me (or catches them and lets them go outside). My dad is the person that knows how to make me smile when I'm feeling sad. Whenever I'm feeling sad he does everything he can to try and make me smile. If all of that doesn't work, then he gives me a hug... and that usually makes me feel better. My dad is my TV watching partner. I mean, who else am I gonna binge watch Law & Order SVU with?
My dad is the person who introduces me to new things. I've seen good movies and heard cool tunes because he's showed them to me. We've cooked some pretty good food too. My dad is the person that I ask all my questions to. The questions can range from something car related to something homework related, but he always knows the answer. My dad is the person who remains positive even through tough times. My dad is the person who is really good at painting. My dad is the person who would do anything to make sure his kids have a world of opportunities.
I know that my dad won't be here forever. Which is why I cherish every moment I get to spend with him.
As time changes, and I become closer to the adult world, there are a couple thing I want you to know... I love you. Thank you. And I'll always be your little girl.
