Transcription

The only daughter to a father of sons, you were the kind of gift one can't understand until it happens to them... Do you know that your father taught you what true beauty is every day that he lives for you? Every time he teaches you something new...whether it was how to read, how to speak, how to hammer a nail, how to carry yourself through the world, with dignity and a pride that shines a light in every room you grace... Every inside joke between the two of you, every goofy moment, even every time you do something wrong and he has to get serious, even more serious, know that these are all blessings, know that it is not red hearts, flower or these four letters that are L-O-V-E but your father and what he feels for you. You're growing up, and it's about more than getting tall (soon you might not have to look up too far to see him it's about getting right with smia e the world & your dad will show you how.
