HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Mark Bennett Workman is my father and the first good man I have ever loved. It’s because of the man he is and the example he set, that I am able to love my husband with deep passion and appreciation.

At 30 years old, I’m still “daddy’s little girl”, and you know what, I love it. I did not enter the world through his body, but I entered the world through his heart. The bond we share is unlike any other connection.

Dad, I love you for an infinite number of reasons. I feel so blessed to have you as my father and I’m thankful for the wonderful life you have given me. In honor of Father’s Day, I would like to celebrate you: a magnificent man, a devoted father, a man of endless service, and a true friend. Please know that my list of gratitude is endless and continues to grow with each day.

Thank you for meeting my Mom, and I am so glad that I came to both of you. Thank you for telling me to straighten my life together and that I have a great man. I should take this opportunity right now and that he can actually love me faithfully and unconditionally – for a lifetime and to not let him go that was the best advice you ever gave me.  Thank you so much because he is truly a blessing and a man I can’t live without and  I am so glad I listened to your advice Dad.

Thank you for knowing you wanted to be a father.

Thank you for providing me with a never-ending sense of physical safety and emotional security whenever I’m with you, even if we are with my husband.

Thank you for constantly showering me with heartfelt hugs. And to this day, thanks for always making me laugh to the point where I feel like I am going to (“pee my pants”)  ha-ha….

Thank you for teaching me the importance of health and exercise.

Thank you for being an overprotective father from the time I was an infant until present day like following me everywhere ha-haha …. .

Thank you for teaching me the power of humor and telling me all your jokes.

Thank you for changing the massive surgical bandage when I was little and bleed like a waterfall  and ran in to the brick wall I still remember that you were there to help me. Thank you for always telling me I am beautiful.

Thank you for working hard and being a great example to me. Thank you for teaching me the importance of humility, and the remarkable power of emotional and financial generosity.

Thank you for telling me to “shake it off” when you knew I was struggling and helping me get through ruff times.

Thank you for embarrassing me by shaving off my eyebrow then drawing it on with permanent marker when I was little. Your great and I love u !! Every time I think of that I laugh !! Love you DAD.

Thank you for never lying to me.

Thank you for your loving example and teaching me the importance of loving those who are not like you. Thank you for showing me that example since I was young.

Thank you for loving and accepting me and always making me feel like Daddy's princess.

Thank you for being a great teacher, and an Wonderful father for the past 30 years of my life. Last of all Thank you , for giving me a good foundation trying to take me to church when I was young even though I did not listen  it helped a lot because I knew who to seek when I hit rock bottom I knew who to find and you helped  me remember our Father up above. I am so grateful because when I was ready I found him and I now know I am a daughter of GOD I will always be forever grateful ...
