I Miss My Family...

HAPPY FATHER"S DAY DAD!!!!!!

I wish I could be there to give you a big hug, and cook breakfast, and help around the house so you do NOTHING today that we can do!!!

I am really homesick. Living in Edmonton is easy except that I am sooo (3 whole hours, I know it isn't that far!!!) far away from my family. I am used to seeing them all of the time, and it is hard to get used to the 'loneliness' that Edmonton so cheerily provides.

Dad, I do not know if you read this, but if you don't, I will be telling Mom to show this to you. I love you very much, and am very proud of you. Ask anyone of my friends and they will tell you that I deeply respect and admire you. Everything I do now is a direct result of your influence on me, whether it be from showing me or telling me, I have learned a LOT from you!!! I have adopted a lot of characteristics from you that I have seen over the years, and whenever someone tells me that I do a great job, or am mature and responsible, I tell them it is because of you. I am proud to say that I learned from you common sense, ethics and morals, determination, high expectations for myself, and a lot more!!!

Dad, I wish there was a way for me to repay you for everything you have done for me, because I am very grateful that you had patience and understanding, especially while I was a teenager. Your unconditional love did not go unnoticed, and I will forever be indebted to you and Mom for being such great parents.

Thank you, Dad, for being who you are, because you have helped to make me who I am, and I am glad for that.

I still learn a lot from you and Mom. Thank you for continuing to share your wisdom with me so that I can try to be a better person.

I love you. I thank the higher ups everyday for giving me such a great gift.

Always your little girl,

Blaine.
