My Dad is my Mom

Dear Dad,

You're my savior, you became the mom I needed when mine left. You may not have known much, but I didn't either, and we learned together. When I needed to dress up for my recital in first grade, I wanted a high ponytail, you didn't know how to do it so it looked slick, you felt so bad. So you went on facebook and saw a dad do it with a vacuum. I couldn't stop laughing because it was so silly, but you did my hair and I loved it. When I got my period for the first time you looked up videos and asked all the women in our family how to help me. You knew I was gonna have to live and grow up without my mom, so you took on her role, you did everything a mom would do.

In most peoples life they have a mom and dad, whether they are together or not, in my lifetime I lost my mom, I didn't have one, and you stepped up. You became the mom I needed. Happy mother's day Dad, I love you.
