A letter to my daughter
We are all looking to find that special person to share our lives with through the ups and downs and everything that comes with it and hopefully that person has a positive outlook and will truly love us for who we are.
Always remember that you can’t have the sweet without the sour as it were.
When you say I love you; make sure you mean it because to say it and not mean it is truly the most painful of all lies.
Listen to your heart and not nay-sayers, our futures are defined by our choices and not by chances we may take along the way. Everyone in your world may have an opinion but the fact of the matter is that only we can decide where we want to be. What will make us happy.
If you make a mistake have the courage to admit it, it doesn’t matter if you are forgiven or not, what matters most is that you took responsibility.
Always remember that no matter how bad of a mistake you may make, no matter how much pain and regret it may cause, the people who truly love you will see past it because you matter to them more than you may fully realize.
Live each day as if it were your last. One day it will be.
Don’t wake up one day wondering what might have been. You made your bed so you must lie in it, if the choice was wrong then do something about it. There is nothing you cannot change or correct if you have the will to fight for what you want.
Believe in yourself and in your dreams, always have hope and love will most certainly find you.
Most importantly, never settle for less than what you know you are worth.
If someone tells you they love you and you are unsure in your heart then test their love. Let that person prove to you that they love you.
Love is there for each of us, it is simply a matter of finding it, if it’s meant to be it will be, but don’t force it to happen, let nature take its course.
Never forget that I love you, I always have and I always will.
Love dad.
