Dear Pop,

First things first, I Love You the most! Growing up, I idolized you. This is untold but felt. It is a shame I never told you this. Never ever in these 22 years. Not that I just realized how wonderful you are. I always knew it.
Thankyou for being there when I took my first steps in the world though I don't remember the ride on the scooter to the hospital, I was still inside my mother! :P
Didn't we have the most fun while growing up? You always treated me like a boy, gave out all the love one can give out to their kids. I might be selfish but i take the pride when I say I love you more than momma.
After a point of time, I don't know why we stopped talking. We both got busy for each other , I guess.
But now, I want to Thankyou for yelling at me, even when I screamed that I hated you. You don't deserve those cruel names and the silent treatment, when I was in 9th grade.
Well, I had some problems with you being over-protective at times being a teenager but now I understand after getting out of home, I consider myself to be well brought up with all the love given. Pop, you grew up with me!

You and I had differences and yet you tried walking in my shoes and let me chose my way.
You tried to reason with me, argue with me and gave up when you were wrong.Your willingness to go out of your way to help me. And not even just math homework, but from my icecreams to my clothes because I was too little to know how, and checking under the bed for monsters and… okay, especially the math homework. (And sometimes I am too snot-nosed and stubborn to say thank you, so here : THANK YOU.)
While growing up, I realized you have added life to my years. Even through the worst parts of growing up, you've always loved me.
You know? I enjoy talking to you at random topics and I love the gossips and the laughter and the fights on the dinner table!
I love to hear your stories of the past about your life, about your struggle, about your wife!
Your advice weighs more on me than anyone else's. I always compare my crushes to you. I don't know how I measure them up.
I love those moments when we take each other's side and this lady- (yes the one below in the pic)

gets so annoyed and will constantly give the side eye, and it's hilarious.
The best part is we never judge each other.
you are the best person to travel with. With this , i mean Let's have an outing!! :D
There has always been this scenario, when I ask for a puppy!! Atleast one time in Life, Don't over think it and say, YES!
You have always taught me the value of money and Time! I understand now though I already suck you dry as a teenager and now on my wedding day! :)
Someday, Let me hold the wheel. I will always remember when you let me drive with you. I won't take the car to office :P
In the last 22 years, I don't remember the presents you gave but I do remember your presence! :)
No matter where I go in Life, who I get married to, how much time I spend out of the house with friends, you'll always be special.
Thankyou for guiding me into becoming the person I am now.
Thankyou for telling me that a lot men in the world are not worthy of my love and attention.
Thankyou for showing me exactly the kind of man who I deserve to marry. Thankyou for being exactly who you are to my mother.
In short, Thankyou for everything!

With Love,
Your grown up daughter! :)

P.S-- Life happens pretty fast! Let's cherish every moment! :D :)
