DAD,
I could start this letter out by thanking you for the multiple things such as the roof over my head or the food you place on the table but somehow when I sit back and think about how truly thankful I am to have you as my father those things barely scratch the surface.
You are my tower of strength, you believe in me much more than I believe in myself. You forgive my faults and only encourage my strengths. I love the way you scold me and lash me with words and also draw me close with those same words. Every moment with you is an unforgettable memory for me. You've made me feel so comfortable telling you about my challenges. I remember calling you to break that sad news that I had been denied that opportunity I thought I already earned, I thought you where going to lash me for that and I was prepared for it. To my amazement you said " no matter the amount of energy you've put into it, you think you've wasted hasn't been wasted at all" that single act swept me off my feet. Your humour is out of this world, it makes me long for home each time am away. I would want to tell the world my Dad is the best, but I won't because I know every dad is bae in their own way. I feel relieved right now. I wouldn't have been able to stand the guilt if I failed to appreciate you on this day.
Your loving daugther Sharon c. Ubani.
