There is not an inch of me that doesn’t love you through and through

From the day I was born, you would teach me many things—

To connect to nature 

To be practical

To be curious about the world

To work hard and to make my visions and dreams a reality 

To get it done 

To help others 

To embrace the adventures of life 

To see and explore 

To move my body, keep fit and healthy 

To follow my dreams 

To be all of me 

To live authentically 

To value family and freedom

To be strong 

To find deep healing in nature

To open my heart 

To know that I am worthy of love 

Our family bond is like no other. Strong and real. Throughout our time, we have all learnt to feel more. To love deeper—to live more. 

As the years go on, you continue to inspire and to teach me. Just as you have learnt through time. A lifetime of learning, experiencing, and growing. With many more years to come. 

I couldn’t have been blessed with a better dad. A strong, loving, hardworking and soft-hearted man. 

I love you Dad, through and through, on this day—and forever more. 

You are stronger then you know. Together, we will harness our strength and love. 

Life is long. It is time to make many more memories together. 

I’ll be home soon.

Love always,

Mandy
