First off, Happy Father's Day to all of the father's out there!
AND...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY DAD!
Dear Daddy,
For the past slightly more than 16 years of my life I have been blessed to have a wonderful, kind, and loving father, which is you. You have been there to help me with a lot of different aspects of my life. Some of my favorite memories consist of you helping me build my simple machine in 4th grade (my automatic dog feeder), and playing the guitar at night, in which I remember falling asleep to when I was little. You used to sing that Sugar Mountain song and when I hear it, I still think back to when I was a little girl and I would hear you playing it on your guitar and singing it. This used to be the days when I was in my old room and I had to leave my door open a little so I wouldn't get scared. And even though it takes 5x longer for help on a math question, I always get the right answer, even if I don't understand most of the logic of how you got there. Although, you did help me pass stats class with a B- instead of the C+ I would have gotten. I did learn a lot in the end and managed to understand more concepts. It was also nice to be able to spend that quality time with you, learning from my father.
It hasn't always been a walk in the park, but I'm glad we are here now. :)
You are a hard worker and do so much for our family and I greatly appreciate everything you do. You sacrifice so much. You are one of the smartest people I know. And, I genuinely laugh at most of your jokes, although some I don't really understand. ;) I always enjoy listening to you listening to your 'old' songs in the car, and you singing along or tapping your foot. You have a big heart and always do little things for us as a family, as well as the big things. You have a strong testimony and I could see that more through having you as a seminary teacher this year. I know that you are always there for me and that you are supportive of me as well.
From you I have learned a lot. More than just math skills and other miscellaneous facts. I learned to "play like you practice", even if I might not always take up that advice when... burping... at the dinner table... and always. But still, I do hear the words and apply it to most aspects of my life, just not that one. I mean, I'm sure someone will still love me and I'll get married... hopefully. You've also given me some boy advice a few times, and although I may laugh on occasion, I hear ya, and in fact, a lot of the times it is good advice. And one of the most important things I've learned from you is what a good husband should be like.
One of my favorite pictures of us is one where we were in Guatemala and the caption said something like, "Dad and Maggie watching TV". Unfortunately, I don't have the picture with me because I left it at the other house, but I can picture it clearly. You are standing there with your usual 'watching TV' face and I'm lying belly down, but with my head turned sideways to look at the screen too. It's a funny picture. I think to this day we both still make the same faces when we watch TV.
Thank you dad, for all that you do. You are amazing! Happy Father's Day to you, daddy! I love you!!
Love,
Your super cool daughter, Maggie
