Dear Daddy

Dad, 

Thank you for taking on the role of both parents for practically my entire life.

Thank you for not abandoning your children after your wife left, like most men would do in that situation.

Thank you for sticking up for me as a freshmen, and yelling at Caitlin and her Dad after she spread rumors about me throughout the entire school.

Thank you for teaching me how to drive. (Even though it took a year and nine months).

Thank you for taking me on a daddy daughter date to see "Mr. Bean's Holiday" in fifth grade.

Thank you for all the times you've had to run out in the middle of the night to get me medicine or feminine hygiene products.

Thank you for pushing me to always try my best, even though quitting is my steeze.

Thank you for scaring away all the boys (sarcasm).

Thank you for keeping me from hanging out with people who could have potentially be dangerous.

Thank you for telling me I'm beautiful on the days I felt indescribably hideous.

Thank you for being my favorite man in the world.

Thank you for being you.
