To my dad, who is the absolutely most wonderful dad in the world. Sure, we went weeks without speaking to each other during my teen years. Sure, he told me (at the top of his lungs) I was making a mistake when I decided to marry the X (and he was right!). Sure, he could be tardy when I needed a ride and managed to find SOMEONE he knew everywhere we went (no joke, we were on our way down a ski lift in Gatlinburg, TN and there was a guy at the bottom calling my dad's name!)
But he was always there. Everytime I did anything, whether cheerleading, band, chorus, softball, basketball or the time I was picked to do my Helen Keller in 6th grade in front of the PTA. And he is always there to this day. I could pick up the phone right now and say, "Daddy, I need ..." I would have it if it was within his power.
My wish is that every little girl have a Daddy like mine. The world would be a much better place.
I love you, Dad.

Great tribute to your dad. I know what you mean, despite our differences in my youth, my dad was always there too. He passed away four years ago now and it's hard to believe he's gone.
I know my parents can't live forever, but I can't imagine a world without them in it. Four years later, I am so sorry for your loss.
