Dear Dad,

I honestly do not know where I would be without you. From important life lessons and decisions, like buying my first car, to graduating high school and getting ready for college, you've helped me through it all. I cherish all of the advice you give me (even though you probably think I don't listen).

Moving in with you six years ago was one of the best things that could have happened to me. You have opened a world of opportunities for me that I wouldn't have had before; I am beyond grateful for that. You have taught me so many things and have guided me down an amazing path: my college journey. You always work so hard to support our family. This hard work inspires me to work hard in order to get where I want to be in life. Thank you for showing me how to be strong and how to face the world and my fears head on.

My favorite memories are when I was younger and we used to go camping and fishing together. Those memories are the ones I will cherish forever. Also, your corny dad jokes are the best dad jokes around, which is probably where I get my ridiculous sense of humor from.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have such a supportive, inspiring, and loving father. I couldn't have gotten where I am today without you. I know I probably don't say this enough, but thank you for everything you do!

Happy (early) Father's Day! I love you!
