I got my personality, my sense of humor, my kindness to strangers, my thoughtfulness - everything good about me, I got from him. From seeing him doing anything he could to help someone, even if it stressed him out to no end. I know that when he helped someone and saw their face light up because of something he did, it was all worth it. Can you even think of a better role model to grow up with?
People always tell me that I make them happy or they feel at peace or they can finally relax with me around. I don't think I really ever understood what people meant - I was just being me! But looking into myself, I realized that that is exactly how my dad made people feel, myself included. My dad gave me something that I didn't even know he had until after he passed away - the innate ability to just love people, no matter what. People will still come up to me and tell me about "this one time my dad noticed them when no one else did" or "that one time he did something without them even asking." He is and always will be my biggest inspiration.
Dad, I hope you know that everything I ever do, I do because of you. You showed me how to be a decent human being, despite my being a brat for most of my life :) You were the most loving individual that most people had ever met in their lives and I count my blessings everyday that I got you as my dad. I love you! You will always be the most super dad ever.
