If you could write a short letter to your father, starting with “Dear Father,” what would you say?
Hey dad, It’s me, your first born. Just wanted to tell you Thank you for everything you’ve done, are doing and will do for me in the future. You are one of the most important pieces to my life, and I know if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. As I’ve matriculated through life, I’ve learned and seen so much that has purposely prepared me for my purpose! All of the hurtlers, obstacles, setbacks, success and tears has grown me into the woman I am today. I’m so happy I went through life alone, figuring it out alone, struggling alone before I got married. Why? Because I can think for myself and not be led to a dead end. Thank you for teaching me independence/how to hustle, Thank you for always supporting my dreams and thank you for always motivating me and being hard on me when I needed it most. Being able to have an active dad as a part of my life is a privilege I do not take lightly. So yes, I will always listen to you and ride for you even if I know you did the crime. Thank you for creating me, thank you for never leaving me,Lastly, Thank you for accepting my husband and supporting him as your own! Just thank you for everything dad, I love you!
