11 Reasons Dads Are Their Daughters' Best Friends

"Good fathers do three things: they provide, they nurture and they guide."

11 Reasons Dads Are Their Daughters' Best Friends

God's greatest gift to this world was the group of men who hold the title "father". Without dads, this world would be a lot more dull. Dads never fail to be by our side through the good times and the bad. With Father's day nearing, here are just some reasons why the father-daughter bond is unbreakable:

1. They let us do everything mom won't.

And over 7 years later, we all grew to love the dog- even mom.

2. They always do what we ask because we're their "little girl".

Even when my charger is 5 feet away from me, you don't (usually) seem to mind getting it for me and plugging my phone in so it won't die.

3. They make the effort to enjoy things we like.

I know my dad will never actually like "One Tree Hill" or "Grey's Anatomy", but he never passes up the opportunity to watch it with me because he wants to spend time with me.

4. They train us to be strong, tough, and independent.

Nobody messes with daddy's little girl- especially the boys.

5. They always spot us cash, even when we don't actually need it.

Without this, I would be nothing.

6. They spoil us.

I actually do appreciate when you run out to get me food even when you're trying to relax and really don't want to get up.

7. No matter what it is or how embarrassing it is, they will always do it for you.

I'm sure you didn't love playing dress up or taking pictures with my stuffed animals, but you love putting a smile on my face and that is something I will always cherish.

8. We secretly loved it when you embarrassed us, too.

Well, maybe not all of the time, but we still loved you anyway for trying to be cool even though, in our eyes, you already are.

9. They put everyone else before themselves, demonstrating true selflessness.

I will be forever thankful for all of the little things you have done and will do for me in the future, especially when you came to read "Green Eggs and Ham" to my preschool class and made me feel special.

10. It seems like they're always able to effortlessly make us laugh.

After what feels like the longest day of my life, I know I can count on you when I come home to make me forget about my long, hard day.

11. They love us for the women they've raised us to become, imperfections and all.

True love is rooted past judgment and ridicule. The true love shown by a father is seen through the fact that they accept us for who we truly are and vice versa.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
