My Daddy

As I sat and listened to the children singing in sacrament meeting today, I kept thinking 'how very true!'

My daddy is my favorite pal,

and I help him every day.

It's plain to see I want to be

like him in every way!

He teaches me that honesty

is best in all I do.

I'm very glad that he's my dad,

and I know he loves me too!

My dad has always been there for me my whole life- both through the great times and the tough times. I know he always will be too! I do want to be like him when I finally grow up! Despite his best efforts to talk me out of it, I have chosen to be a school teacher and a math teacher at that- just like him! And I love it! He has taught me so many wonderful things by his word and by his example- how to serve others, how to work hard, and how to always be honest, no matter what! I knew if I made a mistake (or even crashed my grandmother's car!), if I were to be honest with my dad, he would help me to fix my problem with love.

I am so blessed to have such a loving and caring dad in my life! And I am so thankful that he helped me to learn that I also have a loving and caring Father in Heaven that I can turn to at all times.
