I remember…

I remember when my Dad charted out a course for me to get to work in DC and timed it so I would know exactly when to leave my apartment in the morning.

I remember when I told my Dad I had made it into Madrigals, and he was so happy for me.

I remember shopping for ballet shoes when I was really little with my Dad.

I remember my Dad trying so hard to teach me to pitch a ball.

I remember my Dad running behind me, holding a kite, trying to help me get it in the air.

I remember shopping at Nordstrom for my first suit with Dad.

I remember visiting campus before I started college. Dad showed me his old stomping grounds and helped me find all of the important buildings.

I remember talking to Dad after a boy had broken my heart. He helped me put the pieces back together.

I remember when Dad walked with me in Arlington and all throughout DC. He was so excited to help me get settle and show me the city.

I remember when Dad took a day off work to visit me at school and celebrate Veteran’s Day.

I remember Dad “confiscating” my US History notes before the AP test.

I remember riding Space Mountain with my Dad when I was six years old. He tricked me into getting on the ride, but once I was on it, I totally loved it!

I remember Dad’s story, “When I was in college, I used to fire that cannon for every touchdown.” :)

My Dad has always taken care of me. He sacrifices so much so that I can have what I need. He is happy when I’m happy, and he’s excited when I’m excited. My Dad is the greatest man I know. I am so blessed to be his daughter.

I love you, Dad!
