What I Should Have Said

Dad,
I often think about how I got here and how I could have never done this alone. It seems like time goes by so fast now and in little more than a year your baby girl is about to graduate college. I catch myself missing the times we would go fishing on Pine Creek, teaching me how to bait or getting to help dad in the garage, that was one of my favorites. But maybe just a little too soon you've seen me go from the innocence of a child to what I am today, whatever that is.
I never meant to disappoint you, but it feels like thats all I ever do now.  I'm sorry. I really am. Someday I hope to change this, me. I want you to be proud, proud of something. I just feel like I've left you with nothing, when you did everything. So many of my friends have never even met there father and I want you to know that I'm so very thankful for you. Everyday. So thankful for everything you've done. For being there.
I would have never gotten here without you and I wouldn't be the same person that I am today. For fathers day I sent you a card. A normal, super cheesy, ungrateful card. But I wish everyday I could have done something more. Just to show you that I do care. I do. One day I will make sure you know just how much I care. Thank you. Always.
Your imperfect daughter,
Angie
