A birthday tribute to my dad! By:Brandee Darden. 

Intro to my blog!! 

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! Happy Monday or in other countries, Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and I hope everyone stay safe. If you didn't have an amazing weekend, that's okay because it will get better and everything will be okay! Last week, I talked about my favorite fashion and makeup concepts that I put together and the battle between my light pink leather jacket vs my black puffy jacket with my blogger outfit. Honestly, I love the light pink leather jacket and the black puffy jacket both so much but to be honest, I love the light pink leather jacket with the jacket because I think it breaks up the black and I love to have a little color in my outfits. This week, I will be talking about what my dad has taught me throughout the years, what quotes that I can relate to my day life, and analyzing my poem called "Dear future boyfriend". Before I get started on today's blog post, I want to give out two birthday shout outs. The first birthday shout out goes out my dad. Happy birthday to my amazing dad! Thank you so much for what you have done for me! You have supported through everything and I appreciate that a lot! Happy birthday! The second birthday shout out to my good friend, Ana! Thank you so much for being there for me and supporting me! I hope you have an amazing day like you deserve! Happy birthday!! For today's blog, I will be talking about what has my dad taught me over the years? Why did my dad taught me those things? What are some life lessons did my dad taught me? Why did my dad taught me those life lessons? What do those life lessons mean to me? What is the meaning behind these life lessons from my dad? Let's get started with this blog!! Shall we? I think we shall! 

Explaining my relationship with my dad and how much he means to me? Why does he mean a lot to me? 

My relationship with my dad means everything to me! I love my dad so much! My dad has been there for me since I could remember and I am so blessed to have him as my dad! When I think about my dad, I think about him as a big teddy bear. He might look tough but he is actually a softy and he is very protective when it comes to me! Our relationship means a lot to me! He is my best friend and the person that I can go to when I am having trouble with something! Why does he mean a lot to me, y'all might ask? Well, the reason why he means a lot to me is because he has helped me through a lot and he was always there for me whenever I needed him the most. He is a great dad and I love having a dad like him! 

What has my dad taught me over the years? Why did my dad taught me those things? 

What has my dad taught me over the years? Well, my dad has taught me a lot of things over the years! My dad has taught me how to play softball! He has taught me how to cook. My dad taught me a lot of the things. The reason he taught me those things is because I remember being a little girl and after my daddy's softball games, I would run around the fields and being goofy! I would wear my own shirt with the team's name on it with shorts and cleats. Yes, I even have my own cleats by when my dad coached softball back then. Recently, I started to cook something's. I really didn't take interest in cooking but ever since then, I know how to cook things because of my dad. I know how to cook ramen noodles, French Fries, chicken nuggets,  mashed potatoes, and Mac and Cheese. My dad is an amazing dad! I can't say a lot of people have an amazing dad but I can say my dad is pretty amazing! He taught those things and I can't wait to learn how to cook more things in the future!

What are some life lessons did my dad taught me? Why did my dad taught me those life lessons? 

What are some life lessons did my taught me? My dad has always taught me to never give up and to always work hard! My dad also taught me not to give up! My dad has always told me if I was crying, he would say "I will give you something to cry about" and ever since then, I would never cry unless I am in pain but other than that, I listened to what my dad said and it stuck with me since then! My dad has always been there for me and he knows how to calm me down when I am upset! The reason why my dad taught me those life lessons because I don't have that quitters blood in me and it is because my dad. My dad has always believed me and my dad always taught me to never give up and I still believe it to this day to never give up and I never give up because of my dad! My dad is my biggest supporter and I love him so much! I am blessed to have an amazing dad like him!

What do those life lessons mean to me? What is the meaning behind these life lessons from my dad?

These life lessons mean a lot to me! These life lessons are the reason why I am the person that I am today! I don't give up easily because of my dad. If my dad saw me crying for no reason, he would say "I would give you something to cry" and I still believe in that to this day. Some people can look at my dad and he say "he looks scary" but in reality, he is a softie and he is very caring. Those life lessons has helped me growing up and I will continue to use those life lessons and I will continue to never to give up! The meaning behind these life lessons from my dad is that I will never give up because I don't quit. I don't have the quitters blood in me. I don't give up easily because of my dad! I will never give up easily and I will continue to fight for my dreams as long as I can! As long as I am alive, I will never give up because of my dad! My dad will always support me and he will continue to support me no matter what! I love and care about my dad so much and I know that I will always have a caring dad no matter what. 

In conclusion/ Tip of the day and question of the day? 

In conclusion, I remember growing up and my dad always being there for me and always supporting me! I remember what my dad always told me and he always told me "You will always be my little girl" and ever since then, that has always been stuck with me. No matter how old I get, I will always be daddy's little girl. I love my daddy so much! Thank you, Daddy for always being there for me and loving me as who I am. Here is my tip and question of day!! My tip of the day is always love the person who raised you or who was always there for you. Always tell them that you love them whether it is your dad or your mom or even your grandma. Tell those people that you love them and tell them that you are thankful for raising you. You will never know when you can tell them thank you until it's too late. Love the people who helped raised you! The question of the day is: What are some things that someone who you love taught you while you were growing up? Let me know in the comments down below. I want to hear your comments.
