Growing Up
And as I get older, I can feel the dynamic of our relationship start to change.
I know I will always be your little girl, but now I have the added bonus of being your friend. Of being there to listen to your fears and your stories as well. Of being there when you need advice, which isn’t nearly as often as I do.
I couldn’t be more grateful for your role in my life. And I can only hope that you’re proud of the person that I am becoming. I hope that you see a lot of the characteristics in me, that you made a part of yourself.
And I hope that you are proud of me when you watch me with my kids someday.
Because my biggest goal will always be to create the kind of environment for my kids that you created for me. Whih a family that grows together and evolves over time to be a constant and an unconditional source of friendship and love.
So, thank you Dad. For being a role model, a friend, a dad. And for teaching me about life and myself in all of the little moments.
