Dear Dad,
So I've made it through another hurdle! I have officially finished my last Fall semester of college. I am on my way to the finish line; I can see it right around the corner! I can't even begin to describe the happiness, the joy... the relief it is to finally be here! I have worked so hard to make it this far. A few more months and I will be graduated with my second degree and two internships under my belt! I hope it's all worth it... I hope all this hard work pays off!
I hope I've made you proud, Dad. I hope you really are looking down on me from heaven smiling. All I have ever wanted is to make you proud. For the first time I can honestly say I've made myself proud. These last few years have been so hard and so draining, but I overcame it all.... I, me.... I HAVE MADE IT!
I love you, Pops... more than you will ever know! I miss you so much everyday!
Love,
Daughter

It's almost over!
Dear Dad,
Today is my last day at my internship. I have been here since May. It's such a long time to be at such a temporary place. It's been a part of my everyday life for almost a year. I'm sad to say goodbye. But I am excited for the future. It's been an amazing ride!
Next semester is going to be a tough one. I have 5 classes and an internship. That doesn't include work and Rylee and being a wife. I honestly hope it goes well. I need to have something go smoothly in my life! I did get an amazing internship though! I'm really excited about it! I will be working for the local children's museum and I have been blessed with the task of re-designing all of their print materials! They want new photos, new layout, new everything! I am so thrilled! This internship could potentially cement me in the industry!
You always told me I should take my art and use it for a job. I pish poshed all of that, thinking there was no way I wanted to take something I loved and make it a job! But I have found the best of both worlds! I hope that you are looking down on me with a smile....because Pops... I did it!
Love,
Daughter

Fa Rah Rah Rah Rah
Dear Dad,
So it's that time of year again... Christmas. Oh how I adore this season! Only this year I can't seem to get out of this funk.. it's like I'm Scrooge this year. I'm just not feeling it. Maybe it's the stress of all the work I have going on right now. Luckily it's almost time for a much needed break!!
This year Rylee is finally old enough to get the whole hype of Christmas. It's really cute. It's almost like we get to re-live the magic of Christmas again. Through her Santa is real... it's fun again! We've already been in a parade, decorated and made some Christmas cookies. We still have to go get our tree, but I'm thinking there's plenty of time for all of that.
I've started to shop, but I just don't know what to buy. We've decided to focus more on Rylee this year than anyone else. I really want her to have magical holidays.... like the ones I had as a kid. I'd really like to keep with the theme of educational toys this year. She's finally starting to read and write and I want her to have anything and everything that will help her along the way!
I miss you, Pops....everyday!
Love,
Daughter

GGGRRRRRRRRR....
Dear Dad,
Today is an annoying day. I wish I still had you there to call. I could really use your comedic humor to make me laugh or a few words of wisdom that you always seem to magically know to say. Today is a day that I truly miss you. A day when the gigantic weight your loss rears it's ugly head.
Somedays I have good days. Somedays I have bad. Today is a bad day.
Love,
Daughter
