Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!

Dear Dad, I just wanted to take a minute to publicly thank you for being everything a father should be. And then some. Just this past week when I called you with my Oh-my-goodness-the-world-is-melting-around-me concerns, you calmly reminded me that it wasn’t. You reminded me that God will take care of everything…and also reminded me that I’ve been like this since childhood. Fearing the worst, hardest on myself, focused on perfecting the minutia of my life. But you–like every other time in my life–always have the right things to say.

Dad, you’ve taken care of me for so long and though I thought my dependence on you would wane as I got older, it hasn’t. I crave your company and I’m honored to call you a friend. Thank you for showing me how to be a better Christian, daughter, and person. I love you to the Moon and back.

Love,
