Dear
Dad
,
Thank
you
for
all
the
years
of
showing
up
—
the
early
mornings
,
the
long
drives
,
and
the
countless
small
sacrifices
I
never
noticed
until
I
was
old
enough
to
understand
them
.
You
made
it
all
look
easy
,
and
I
know
it
wasn
’
t
.
Thank
you
for
teaching
me
what
truly
matters
:
keeping
your
word
,
working
hard
without
complaint
,
and
being
kind
when
no
one
is
watching
.
I
carry
those
lessons
with
me
every
day
,
more
than
you
probably
realize
.
Most
of
all
,
thank
you
for
loving
us
the
way
you
do
—
quietly
,
consistently
,
without
ever
asking
for
anything
in
return
.
I
hope
you
know
how
much
you
mean
to
me
.
Thank
you
,
Dad
.
For
everything
.
With
all
my
love
,
Your loving child
