A Tribute to my Dad

Dad,

Words can not appropriately express the gratitude that I feel in my heart when I think about you as my daddy! I think back to my childhood and remember how excited I'd get when I saw your truck pull up at the end of the day. Even before that, I remember mom picking me up on cold nights, bundling me up, and driving to pick you up when you hauled the "big rigs".

When I think of you I think of the qualities that made and make you the man you are today; strength, perseverance, dedication, temperance, loyalty, respect, and love for family! I did not realize how important those qualities were or would be in my life fully until now! I want to thank you for sharing those qualities with me as well as kicking my rear on a regular basis to keep me steady and focused on the goal!
I will never be able to tell you how important it was that you did that....although I think that you already knew! I am so proud to have you as my father and now as a friend and counsel when needed.

I know that it was your guidance and love that helped shape me into the person I am today and the person that I will be for my family! I want to thank you for that!

I am glad that there is a day set aside for think about our parents and what they have done and been for us as children growing up.

I love you dad and will always be your little girl!
