A Very Special Father’s Day

My dad has always been there for me no matter what, even when we didn’t see eye to eye on things. He has always been there to help me out and always wanted what was best for me. He was there when I found out I didn’t get a scholarship to go to my number one college choice at the University of Texas (I couldn’t afford the out-of-state tuition) and held me while I cried. He was there for me when my last relationship of five and a half years ended and I felt completely helpless. He was there cheering me on as I was one of few students standing to be congratulated for graduating with a GPA of 3.90 or above. He has always encouraged me to follow my dreams, and last summer when I had the opportunity to go to New York to do a shoot for People magazine, he told me he has never been so proud of me.

My dad is an incredible man. He has endured through both success and failure in order to provide the best life possible for my mother, my sisters and me, and I am beyond grateful for all he has done. I have so many fond memories with my dad, and many of them include our family vacations. He has given us the opportunity to see the country together, and two years ago gave my mom the trip of her dreams — a girl’s trip to Europe with her daughters while he stayed home.

Sometimes it seems there is never going to be a way to truly thank him or give back to him, but Father’s Day is one way I always try my best to show him just how much I care! I think the most important thing to him is my family’s happiness, so when I am happy, I know it makes my dad smile! This weekend I am going home to celebrate Father’s day and his birthday, and I can’t wait to spend some quality time with him!
