dear dad,

holy. shit.

i’m You.

i am 100% certain that i have turned into a mini version of the man you are.  + honestly?  i am not sure i like it!

i am preaching to my girls about how beautiful they are + how only they can validate themselves, telling people to keep their chin up + be positive, assuring coworkers that they have the power within themselves (yes you can!  love yourself!).  

i am getting on my own nerves.  kind of the way you always get on mine!

man, oh man!  

at least we know one things for certain: despite the lone redhead in the family, i sure as hell am your daughter.  however, the jury may still be out on mom.

still love you,

sammy

ps: i not so secretly love Everything you say + do for me- even if i quite often roll my eyes + want to kill you when you preach to me from your “latest book”.  that aside?  you’re as Cool + wise as they come.

pps: do not remind me of this letter when i tell you to shut up.  thanks :)
