To my loving daddy,
I want you and everyone else to know that I have been gifted with the most amazing dad in the world. Being the stronghold in my life, you set a firm foundation for me to build my life on. The way you have always encouraged and motivated me, and guided me through the ups and downs of my journey is truly remarkable. Though you always tend to project your tough emotionless exterior, I know it is to keep me disciplined. I have reached that age now where I can see your motives clearly behind everything you ever asked me to do. It is only because of you that I can now judge what is good or bad for me.
As a dad, you are strong, caring and a man of conviction. I am trying harder to emulate some of your traits so I can set an example of myself too like you did. You carried me in your arms when I was little and held my hand while I was growing up. Dad, I am going to be your pillar when you are old and will carry you in my heart until I die. I cannot thank you enough for your constant love and support you showered upon me all these years. It means more than anything to me.
