An Overdue Thank You To My Dad On Father's Day
Haley Coghlan

Dear Dad,

There are no amount of words that could express my gratitude for how much you mean to me. You have always had all of our best interests at heart and I know it must be challenging to raise three very different girls in the family but you cater to each of our feelings perfectly. Your selfless love and radiant spirit shines everywhere you go and I know you must have inherited that from Grandma! You are always doing for others without taking time for you. You consistently put everyone's needs before yours and for that I am incredibly thankful.

You have done so much for our family, the community and for the good of the world. Whether it is being our biggest fans in sporting events or watching us be your biggest fans while you coach, you continually prove why we are the luckiest to have you in our lives.

So, thank you. Thank you for bringing out the best in us and truly living out the meaning of unconditional love. We are beyond lucky to call you Dad and couldn't imagine going through life without you.

Even when we don't show it all the time we are so thankful for you and everything you have done to raise us into who we are and who we are becoming.

Happy Father's day Dad! I hope one day to meet someone half the man you are, if I'm lucky.

In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
