Dear dad,
Happy birthday to you! On this special day, I’d like to talk to you in a special way.
I don’t think I’m good at telling you my thought face to face with you, so I’m to show my deep love for you. You’re not a rich man or a famous person. But in my heart, you are one of the greatest in the world. I’m you. You’re interested in being famous and rich. You do things like paying for your phone on time, and working as a worker in your factory. The smile on your face shows you’re pleased with the family. You take good care of my grandparents. You help me with my schoolwork and do some shopping with mom on Sundays.
In the past, I didn’t care you were with me or not. Now I am sorry to say I didn’t you before. But I am thankful for what you have done for me.
I am quite lucky that I have a great father. And I feel happy that now I can let you know how much I love you. You are successful as a son, a husband, a father and a friend.
Love from,
Lydia
