Why I'm a Daddy's Girl

My dad is basically the best dad in the world. I know, I know, your thinking, 'Sara your a little biased'. But truly my dad is the greatest, what an amazing example he has been to me for 21 years. The world could use more people like my father. Growing up my dad taught me many things, some of which I hold invaluable. The precious moments I have with him will always be cherished.

What I love to do with my dad

  • play golf
  • go to California
  • be at the beach
  • go on drives
  • watch Jazz games
  • walk along the coast
  • special time ;)

What I love about my dad

  1. He tells me "I'm proud of you." The 2nd sweetest words a daughter can here.
  2. He gives the best hugs.
  3. My dad is definitely a lifter, not a leaner. I've leaned on him many times in my life.
  4. He is generous with all aspects of his life; time, money and talents.
  5. He's an amazing teacher, whether its a church lesson, life lesson, or his example.
  6. He is always willing to compliment me when I succeed.
  7. My dad is a great conversationalist and gives honest and valuable advice.
  8. Dad can find the positive side and laugh when times get rough.
  9. He's never made me feel stupid, embarrassed, or humiliated at my expense.
  10. I never questioned if my dad loved me. He tells me "I love you" everyday. The sweetest words a daughter can here.
What my dad has taught me through love
  • Traveling with family is one of the most valuable uses of your time
  • Mercedes Benz suck and Toyota's never die
  • You should always be progressing in life
  • It's always best to swallow your pride and apologize first, no matter whose fault it
  • Prayer and scripture study are a vital part of everyday
  • Speak kindly and speak softly
  • Love can be unconditional
  • It’s okay to cry
  • The gospel
  • Conserve in everything you use
  • Be patient with those who are not patient with you
  • Always have a Book of Mormon on hand
  • Making goals, striving to achieve them, and attaining them
  • Read as much as you can
  • Attend the temple as much as possible
  • Always say I love you

My dad has been one of the greatest examples in my life and one of my biggest heroes. I hope to be more like him some day. I'm grateful to have him as my father and as my friend. Happy Father's Day. I love you dad.
