Here's to the best Dad in the World <3

When I was a baby, barely born, I remember the touch of your hands against my skin,
Holding me, cooing at me, smiling and laughing,
Giving me raspberries on my stomach, that changed the bitterest of tears to the sweetest smile,I remember your experienced hands lifting me in the air and whirling me around,
I remember falling asleep in your arms every night,
It was magic daddy, the moments that we spent together.
Every mistake I made, you never reprimanded me,
Just held my hand and taught me to do the right thing always,
What I am today, it’s all thanks to you, daddy,
I have a million things to thank you for,
A million things that have moulded me.
Thank you for making me the voracious reader that I am,
Thank you for being my walking talking dictionary,
Thank you for making me smile when I was upset,
Thank you for teaching me badminton and playing with me every evening,
Thank you for making me realise how lucky I am to have you.
Thank you for having faith in me when I doubted myself,
Thank you for forgiving my mistakes no matter how grave,
Thank you for telling me that I’m special and that I deserve the best,
Thank you for giving me the best education that any parent could give,
Thank you for loving me the way you do.
When I say that I love you daddy, it doesn’t encompass my feelings,
For you I could do anything, sacrifice anything... everything even
And yet I’d always be indebted to you for sixteen years of pure unadulterated joy,
Thank you for having brought me into this world,
And shielding me from the pain it inflicted on me,
Thank you daddy, and I love you.
