I'd like to thank you,

cause heaven knows I don't do it enough. 

Thank you for letting me know that I am beautiful... 

for having this certain ability to let a person know 

you really mean it 

and it's not just something you say.

I have been witness to you

letting many people know how 

beautiful they are inside and out, 

it's amazing to see a person just shine and beam 

because my dad has 

this amazing ability 

to let them know just how wonderful they are. 

Thank you for spending time with me, 

I never felt like my dad was too busy. 

I have many fond memories with you throughout my life,

whether playing or working.

I appreciate you teaching me 

and being patient 

and letting me know that a girl can fix things too,

that it's not just mens work. 

I really did enjoy all those times 

you had me help fix the car,

and the many times you took me on a plumbing job. 

I appreciate being raised to believe I can do anything

  I want to do. 

Thank you for being so pleasant to be around, 

it is always a pleasure to be in your company,

  Often when I think of you the first image is 

of your smile,

your laugh,

of your whistle, and dance. 

Thank you for teaching me about respect,

to respect not just myself but others,

this started at a young age

with learning that 

my mother deserves my utmost respect.

Thank you for teaching me that it is ok to

stand up for myself, 

and be myself,

that I am wonderful just the way I am. 

Thank you for teaching me 

about working hard, and 

doing your best. 

Thank you for teaching me that a man should 

buy me flowers

every now and again. 

Thank you for teaching me that it is not weakness

that moves a man to tears,

but love, and 

strength. 

Thank you for sharing with me

your gentle nature,

watching the way you can calm 

and sooth a crying baby,

stranger or no,

is inspiring and beautiful. 

Thank you for teaching me about service 

and generosity,

It is because of you that I feel the need to offer

a helping hand 

even if it means going out of my way.

I wouldn't be able to count

how many times  I watched you go help

with a plumbing problem 

or any other troubles 

even in the middle of the night.

Thank you for teaching me the joy

in giving, and about

Santa Clause's true spirit.

Thank you for not just being the kind of parent I want to be,

but the kind of person I want to be. 

I have always known my father loves me, 

believes in me,

and thinks I am a wonderful person.

Being able to carry that knowledge

with me through life

has proven to be

an immense blessing.

Thank you for being a Real Hero!

Love you Dad
