Happy Father's Day: A love letter to dad from ABC57
To the world you are a father, but to all of us you are the world.
I love you, Dad! On this Father's Day, I would just like to thank you for instilling a passionate competitive spirit in me and all your children. Because of the way you lived your life, we have all become successful in our chosen fields and developed a lifelong love of learning. We all cherish the memories of growing up at Michigan Football games, playing every sport imaginable (and playing to win!) and most of all having fun with family and friends no matter the time or place. Thank you for all you have done over the years, and sorry if I gave you some of those grey hairs!

Love you dad. This year feels a little different since it's the first where I'm a father too. It's created a whole new appreciation for the love and support it takes to be a dad. Thank you for showing me how it's done.

I love you dad. Thank you for your endless support. By that I mean thoroughly inspecting my car every time I come home and hanging things up for me in my apartment. You’re the best dad!

Dear Dad, I wish every kid out there has the chance to be as loved, supported, and cherished as I've been my entire life. Cheers to the man who loved me first-- I can't wait to see how this wedding year brings us back down memory lane while creating new memories together. Love you always, Poppa!

I love you dad, thanks for always being there to talk sports with, rescue me when I have a flat tire, grill me the most incredible burgers that have ever been grilled, and offer the best dad jokes every Friday. I couldn't have asked for a better one!

Happy Father's Day to my dad, Alejandro! I wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for you and all your support growing up. You ALWAYS put me and all your kids first and that's the reason we're able to do everything we do today. Thank you for always being just a phone call away. I love you forever!

Love you dad. You've always been an amazing parent to me, and now that I'm older, I'm so happy to have you as an amazing friend as well. You've taught me so much about life and how to make the most of it. You've helped me learn how to stand up for myself and fight for what I want because the worst thing someone can say is no. Thank you for everything, Dad - happy Father's Day!

I love you dad, thank you for always watching out for me, and getting me through tough times. You've taught me how to be a hard worker and to be self-sufficient. You've helped me grow and learn how to be on my own, and I still know I can always ask for help when I face something new.

" You're just like your father " Is often said jokingly to me or as a negative comment, I wear it like a badge of honor.

Thanks Dad, for always being there for me, giving me good advice, and helping me when I screwed up. You’ve always been someone I admire and it’s fun to see a different side of you in retirement.

Dad, I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me. Not only are you my dad, but you are one of my best friends! You have always been someone I can lean on when I hit a wall in life or just need advice. You have also gone above and beyond to support and help me throughout my life. I am so grateful for everything you have done. I love you and I hope you have an amazing Father's Day!
