A Letter To My Dad

Dear Dad

Happy Birthday! I hope you have an amazing day surrounded by those that love you so incredibly much. I wish with all my little heart that I could spend today with you, but you'll be in my thoughts throughout today.

You have set such an admirable example for me and for this I will be eternally grateful. You have showed me the true meaning of sacrifice and what it means to love. You are the most selfless human I have ever come across and you give whole heartedly daily. You have allowed me to grow into my own person, you have allowed me to make my own choices and you have allowed me to create a life for myself - you have done all of this with me knowing that your support is never-ending and that nothing I could ever do would make you stop loving me.

I only hope that I am lucky enough to find a man who will one day love me the way that you love Clauds. If the father of my children turns out to be half the man that you are, then I can confidently say that they will be some extremely blessed kiddies. You're incredible, Dad, and you deserve to be told that daily.

My respect for you has grown so much for you this year - you work so hard every single day to support your family, you take on so much more than is expected from you and still at the end of the day I can dial your number and complain about the silly issues in my life. Your words are always so comforting and it only takes a minute of chatting to you and one of your jokes and my day is brightened again.

I miss you Dad! I'm counting down the days until I get to see you and the rest of my wonderful family again.
Thank you for every sacrifice you have ever made for me. I promise to make each and every one of them worth it in the long run. I may not always understand just how much you do for me, but I can only promise to always, always be grateful to you.

I love you so much Dad, and thank you for loving me more. Happy Birthday.

Love,
Shan Shan
