We're happy to present this article by Alex Alexander from one of our favorite sites, YourTango.
Dear Dad,
You're doing an awesome job. Thanks for the extra-cash that one night when I was waiting for my direct deposit to clear and thanks, too, for being as horrified as I am now by the tattoo that's forever etched on my lower back. (You were right; it's trashy.) Thanks for helping me pay for college and for editing my resume and for telling me that my make-up didn't match my skin-tone. (Yikes; I've deleted all photos from 2007.)
Keep on doing what you're doing because you mostly get it right, but I just wanted to write you to let you know that there's a few more things I need from you (I know, I'm greedy). These are the things I find a little bit harder to say to you in person, but they're important nonetheless as we continue this dad/daughter journey together:
Love,
Your daughter
