oh my papa.

my dear, sweet papa.

thank you for always loving me.

for believing in me.

for pushing myself to be better than i ever thought i could.

thank you for rocking me when i'm sad

and singing "you are my sunshine" to make me smile.

thank you for constantly telling me

i am never too old to be your little girl.

and for understanding 

that even though i have cory now,

you will always be my daddy and my hero.

always.

happy birthday, papa.

i love you.

your 5-b
