My daddy rocks! He is my hero, not just my hero but to others as well. He selflessly puts his life on the line everyday to make this world a safer place. Sometimes people don't like my daddy simply because of his job, but I know how brave he is when he puts on his uniform and kisses me goodbye. My daddy is my world, he is always there when I need him, he fights through exhaustion to be the first to make me smile each morning. He is funny and makes me giggle until I am gasping for air. He teaches me though his kindness and love and is the best part of my day. I can't wait for him to come through the door so I can run and hold him tight. He takes me on adventures where I watch and learn from him, trying to mimic him exactly. I love my daddy and want to grow up to be just like my hero someday. I love you daddy!
