#another assignment

No matter what plase you go to, nothing can feel as nostalgic as your own home, that holds so much memories in every corner, whether it is sad or happy. It makes you feel as though it is your safe haven. A place where you belong. That is why whenever I'm away, I am reminded of the song that goes,

'Take me home. Take me home where I belong.'

Jenny and the Ghosts

Dear Dad,

Thank you.  I love you so much.  You are an amazing father.  Of course there are times when you lose your temper and when I make you lose your temper, but I know you are always there for me.

You are always lenient with me.  You are as fair as you can be, which makes being the middle child a little bit easier.  You are patient and calm and are a very good teacher to me.  You always make sure I fully understand something before moving forward and I am grateful for that.  Even when you are not trying to teach me, I still manage to learn from you, which I think is pretty cool.  You do your best to encourage others and make them do well, and I think I have started doing that partly due to you.

You try to always be conscious of your mistakes and make them better, which is something I love about you, but I wish you would be more aware of the things you do right.  You are such a wonderful father to me, Maddy, Elyse, and even Randy, and a wonderful husband to Mom.  You are a great uncle and babies adore you.  But to me, after being a fantastic father, you are the greatest teacher I could ever dream of having.  I know you think its best if you stay as uninvolved as possible in our lives, but at least for me, that is not the case.  Right now, you are the only truly stable thing in my life.  I know its cheesy, but you are my rock, and I will forever be grateful for having you in my life.

I love you, Dad.  Thank you for being here for me.

With lots o’ love,
