This is for the Father I love,
for the one who has cared all these years,
but has never heard enough about how much I love you.
So this is for you.
For the one who helped me through all of my childhood fears and failures,
and turned all that he could into success and dreams.
For the person whose devotion to his family is marked by gentle strength and guidance,
and whose love of life, sense of direction...
For the man who is a wonderful example of what more men should be like.
Your beloved daughter
