But my dad has shown me from a very young age that I am important to him and that I am beautiful.
Other than my husband, I’ve been out on more dates with my dad than anyone else. Because of him there has never been a Valentines day where I was without a valentine.

He showed me many of the qualities I needed to look for in the man I would marry, while teaching me to be a strong, independent woman on my own."
