Dear Dad,
You are someone who knows a lot, takes his time, loves life, and is not a packrat.

You are the red to my rose, the Light to my days, and will always be there when I
need you.
You come to all my practices, and you are really good cook. Its really cool how you
can sneeze 7 times in a row, That's pretty cool.
Dad you are the best cook, you are good at your job. You're a good mountain biker,
You are always making me laugh, sometimes you get mad at us but I don't blame
you.
You are good at fixing stuff around the house.
Dad you keep me from starving, help us do dishes, buy us clothes when we need
them.
Once in awhile you buy us something so we don't die of boredom.
You take us places so you and us can have fun, Whenever you have extra stickers
you give them to me. I like the stickers you give me.

Thank you for doing all those things for me. I feel loved, cared for, I feel like I
should be doing more than you are doing for me. But I can't. I don't know how you
do it dad.
I don't know how you do it, but I love you dad. I can't tell you how much I love you
dad. I love that you do all these things, and yet have to pay bills.

Sincerely,
