Father's Day Farewell

Pop,

I saw this book and thought of you. I held back tears while reading the notes that seem to fit you so well.

Still, these hundreds of simple thank-yous combined come nowhere near expressing the gratitude I feel for having you as my father. You have always been and will always be my inspiration. If I prove to be half the parent you've been, I will consider myself blessed.

Knowing I will forever have your support makes this move out west possible. Distance may separate us physically, but my love for you is inseparable.

Thank you for making me feel capable of anything. It is your greatest gift to me.
