A Thank You Letter To My Father On Father's Day

Peyton Marie Gosdin

With so many things I could thank you for, here is a list of only some of the things you do that I am so appreciative for. A father's love is so important. A bond between a father and daughter are unlike any other. You’re a pretty special dude. So thank you for:

1. Supporting us in all you do.

Thank you for putting a roof over our heads. Thank you for showing me what a hard worker looks like, so that we may enjoy the finer things in life. Thank you for sacrificing your time away from us if necessary to make sure we are content. You are our family's foundation and roof.

2. Trusting me.

It is so nice to feel completely trusted. When your constant "where are you at all times?" gets a little too much, hearing you tell me "I trust you," is all it takes for me to know you mean it and you ask because you care (and because mom is probably making you). Thank you for making me feel like I am doing something right, by knowing you are proud and that you trust me.

3. Reading us the Bible every night growing up.

Although it may not seem like much, thank you, along with mom, for instilling christ in our lives and taking the time out of every night to teach us the bible. That bonding time was so nice and has given me some of my fondest memories. Thank you for always wanting us to go to church no matter what time you got in the night before or the morning of. Thank you for every night whispering in my ear before bed: "Daddy loves you, Jesus loves you, sweet dreams baby girl."

4. Showing me what a father and husband should be like.

A father and husband should be caring, god fearing and a hard worker. They should be the head of the house, the providers. They should be strong and their kids should feel the type of security that I have felt growing up with you as my father. Whether it is knowing you would never leave or just plain feeling as though because you were you nothing could go wrong because you ALWAYS know what you are doing.

5. For letting me be a Daddy's girl.

Whether it's sports, politics or food we are the same. Thank you for making memories with me and letting me tag along doing whatever you were doing. Thank you for teaching me how to be strong and the reality of this world. Thank you for my conservative insight and my singing ability. Thank you for watching Saturday morning cartoons with me and frying me duck meat in the morning like it was bacon.

Most importantly thank you for being you. My daddy/comedian/problem fixer.

Love,

Your baby girl.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
