For Daddy's Girls, like myself, our fathers are the most important male figures in our lives. In the big picture, they teach us about life and about the importance of hard work. However, there are small everyday things our fathers do that sometimes go unnoticed.

1. Thank you for teaching me about sports. Thank you for teaching me the rules and bearing with me and answering my questions until I fully understood. (Also, thank you for teaching me which college football team is obviously the best. And of course which ones are the worst too.)

2. Thank you for teaching me how to play golf. And for letting me drive the golf cart as a kid, even after hitting a couple trees and stumps...

3. Thank you for showing me how to shoot a gun so I could defend myself from all the bad guys.

4. Thank you for killing the many roaches that appeared in my room or around the house. Even when I had to frantically wake you up to do so.

5. Thank you for teaching me how to drive. (Although it led to four speeding tickets and two accidents, so maybe I'll take that one back...)

6. Thank you for not killing me after getting the four speeding tickets.

7. Thank you for picking me up from school and practices as a kid, and now from bars and car wrecks.

8. Thank you for being my partner in crime in our "Don't Tell Mom" moments.

9. Thank you for taking me to sporting events. (And teaching me your sneaky ways to bring alcohol into the games).

10. Thank you for teaching how to use tools so I wouldn't have to rely on a man.

11. Thank you for being my personal ATM. (I know how much it pains you.)

12. Thank you for also being there to answer my questions about my car, finances, or any problems really.

13. Thank you for passing down your sense of humor. Thanks for all the laughs and inside jokes. We've gotten pretty good at reading each other's minds too.

14. But most importantly thank you for always giving me valuable advice and teaching me about life.
