MY DAD My identity begins and ends with him. I don't say it out loud often, but I am nothing without my dad. I am my father's daughter, and I am proud of it. I don't mind when people know me by his name, because being known as his is the greatest honor of my life. I may not have done much for him, but he has given me the entire world without ever asking for anything in return. He has given me more than I deserve, loved me more than I can ever repay, and stood by me even on the days when I didnt deserve it. If l ever become someone one day, it will be because of him. And if I fall, he will still be the first one to hold me. If I shine, it will be his light. I don't say it often... but everything 1 am, every bit of me, is because of my dad.
