Dad, I know that things are so far from easy right now, but I just want you to know…despite everything, I couldn’t ask for a better role model. You work so hard for us every day, and I never know how to fully tell you, but I appreciate you so much. Every time she ever said something awful, we should have told you how untrue it was. I have never known anyone as brave, caring, reliable, intelligent or well humored as you. If you see any of these qualities in us- I hope you know that they came from you. It has been hard, but I’m starting to feel happy that you will have a second chance for a new, healthy relationship. I just hope that when you find her, she is respectful, honest and loves you half as much as your kids do. Christmas morning this year will not be the same without your laugh, but here’s to making some new Holiday traditions of our own. —Grateful Daughter

You’re a wonderful daughter,OP. And don’t forget to give your dad lots of hugs.
Wishing you and your dad a wonderful holiday season.
if this is about GARNET, yeah, he is a pretty decent guy.
Some guys are better off alone anyway. A lot of women are nothing but trouble!
Herring Cove is such a nice place. Should take a drive by if you havn’t. And the garlic fingers at the local eatery are to die for.
