make my dad proud

Dear dad,

I know you’ll never see this,

I know you’ll never think that I am good enough,

I know you think I can’t accomplish easy tasks,

But please, hear me out.

I hate when you tell us not to cry, or not to swear,

Though by setting such an example of cussing,

What are we do think?

I know I am not your favourite,

Alasdair can not be beat.

My grades are not perfect,

The laundry is not always complete,

I am not made of infinate money to spend on myself.

I fear I shall never live up to this image of flawlessness and purity,

My dreams are of becoming respected in your eyes,

Possibly even gaining your trust and respect.

Though I know these things are virtually impossible,

I wish they come true, once a day.

I wish you could be content with my achievements,

Push me when I need it,

Apriciate me and how far I have come.

I know that wishes will not fulfill this emptiness I find in myself,

All I want is for me to make you proud.

I apologize I cannot be your one and only impecable, idyllic daughter who has all the time in the world.

I do not plan on you ever viewing this,

In fear of a family feud starting WWIII.

I beg you for just one emotion towards me.

For just once in our lifetimes,

Someday, when I achieve everything,

Can you tell me you are proud?

My dad does so much for me. I love him more than anyone in this world. I wish I could do half the things he does for me. Right now Im focusing on school to make him proud.

You left too soon.

Me and my dad have always had a difficult realtionship, ever since i was little, i think I have dissapointed him a lil and that makes him unhappy, i have acted selfishly and being stupid a little in taking choices , he is hard on me sometimes and sometimes i dont deserve it and sometimes it makes me very unhappy knowing that i make him unhappy, but this year is going to be different, I thought to myself, i have the power to make him happy and make myself happy, he is right on a lot of things I just dont listen, i can make things better and make him proud, coz i love him sooo much, it makes things easier in the house and our relationship is better, I’m going to get into uni and get a job and make him sooo proud,Today was the starting point, I got a pass in my Maths Excams and he picked me up and twirled me across the room, he was smiling and it made me sooooo happy, I love him and this year is going to be great for us. xx

for me its kinda hard to mkae my dad proud…. i get the best grades from all my brothers, i do all this community help, i join sports, clubs, ect and accomplish mayn goals yet he never seems proud of me… it almost seems that he is most proud of my youger brother than me just bcause he is more like him…. im just happy that i have a greeat mother that loves me a lot and is proud of me for everything i do=)

Seeing that big happy smile on your dad’s face when you actually do something right lol look at my pic that is definetly not my dad haha

. . . his my dad, what more can i say???
he’s sweet, gentle, loving, caring, noble, honest, generous and he really puts up with me . . . he’s every girl’s dream guy . . . i swear if anything happen to him i wwould die . . . so i pray everyday that god look out for him, and bring him home safe . . .

My dad passed away a couple of weeks after I graduated from college. I view my life (and I think my brothers and sister feel the same way) as his legacy, and try to carry on some of the things that were important to him.

I love you, Dad.

My dad just died. I hate to think he’s watching how much I’m screwing up my life. His life was full of charity and excitment. He lived an amazing life. I want to follow his example. Give as much as I can and take everything I want. The world is out there. He taught me to get out there and see it, experience it…live it.

“shari, it doesn’t make me proud when you stress yourself out until you get good grades, It would make me more proud if you could keep youre composure”
