I am a daddy's girl, and I have no shame! I am twenty-two years old, and I still call my dad daddy. I laugh at people who think it's weird, but I also feel sorry for them because they obviously do not have as amazing of a dad as I do! I don't know what I would do without him and I would not trade with anyone. If you think your daddy is better than mine, then I am happy for you because the truth is we are probably both amazingly lucky, special, and blessed with the best dads ever!

Your dad is the first and most important man in your life, and all other men will be compared to him. He raises you and guides you in your life. He teaches you all the important things only a dad can teach you. My dad taught me more in my seemingly short life than I could ever manage to list here, but every single lesson was important. My dad has taught me how to work hard and to never give up. He taught me that I can do whatever I want to do and that if I decide I want to do something, I will. My dad taught me about guns and how to shoot and hunt and be safe with a gun. He taught me how to play golf and therefore patience. He has taught me how to love and how to care. He has shown me what is important in life and what is not.

You see, some people are just unlucky and do not get amazing dads and, sadly, some girls get amazing dads and don't get to spend time with their dads. I love spending time with my dad, no matter how simple the activity. I love going golfing, shooting guns, and going hunting with my dad. One night we drove down to Evansville just to go to pawn shops and dinner. It was amazing because I was with my daddy, and there is nothing like one on one time with him.

Tomorrow I get to spend the majority of my day with my daddy. He is taking me hunting again for the first time since we lost my mom. This is an experience we have not shared in quite a while, and I am so excited for tomorrow. Even though I am going to have to wake up at 4 in the morning to get ready and drive an hour to the woods, for that hour long drive, I will be with my daddy. And I get a whole hour with him on the way home too, hopefully with a deer in the back!

One thing I have learned from my dad for sure is that there is nothing like time with your daddy! Do not take him for granted! He will love you more than you ever know!
