Happy Father's Day

Tomorrow is Father's Day, and I am definitely a Daddy's little girl. I have always looked up to my dad because he is a man who has worked hard all of his life to provide the best he could for his family. He expected a lot from me growing up, and I am thankful for that. It was never a question in my mind that when I graduated from high school I would go to college and get a degree. That may seem normal enough, except that I was the first person in my entire family to ever graduate college with a Bachelor's degree. I learned from my dad that you have to go for what you want in life. You have to work for success. You can't just sit back and wait for good things to happen to you. He also taught me to trust in God and seek Him and His will for my life. He taught me that no matter what I do in life - no matter what mistakes I make - God will always love me, and He will forgive me and hold me in His arms and comfort me when I need to be comforted. My dad taught me that you have to stand up for what is right and that you have to face the consequences of the mistakes that you make. He taught me that you should always be thankful for what you have because there are a lot of people in the world with a lot less. He also taught me that no gain is worth sacrificing your integrity. Thank you, Dad, for molding me into the woman that I am today. I will always be grateful. I love you.
