Dad, as I was thinking about you today,

I began to wonder whether you realize how much you are a part of me.

You might not know how deeply your values and your actions have influenced my character or be aware of how many ways your words still speak to my heart,but as surely as the sun causes the budding flower to blossom, you have shaped and influenced my life---

Your presence has made me who I am today-a daughter who loves you very much.
