Daddy's Note

Daddy,
I may not say this often, but I know I'm blessed in having a dad like you. Oh I'm so thankful to God for allowing me to be your daughter and even more your only daughter, your reina!
I have become who I am because of you. I may not have realized it then but what you have done has only been to push me beyond my limits, farther than I have ever imagined of being. It's because you challenged me that I graduated in a white robe! I'm pushing myself to go to college because you never believed I would! You have never told me but I know your proud, I may not have your full support but one day I will. You may be scared to tell me how proud I've made you but it's not needed I've seen it in your eyes and in your day to day sacrifice.
It's your love for me and my brothers, and my mom, I know she completes your heart that you sacrifice so much. It's not easy and I know it, being away for such long times missing out on many things like a fathers day with us. I don't know what you go through by being away, but just coming home to an empty motel should be enough. While we are here at home, we miss you so much. I get scared sometimes being alone without you to protect us. You've sacrificed so much and I appreciate it because it's all for us. You have provided with everything necessary for us to live happy. I hope to always make you proud dad, as proud as you have been for me till now.
Thanks for pushing me beyond limits and for allowing me to dream big, I'll show you that my dreams are very possible because I have you I'm not giving up.
Thanks for sacrificing so much for us, many hours away from home and injuries in your body! I admire that so much.
Your reina,
Itzel
