Father Tribute Speech

Many call him rich but I call him dad. He is the man who has taught me to be the person I am today. My dad has been there for me every day since I was born, and what my family and I have put him through I probably would have gone crazy a long time ago. My dad is literally the only man in our house. It is my dad, my mom, my older sister Olivia, me, and my younger sister Aliza. Even my dog is a girl, even my litter sister’s fish is a girl. I don’t know how he does it, I really don’t. But the thing is he deals with all of us girls every day and he still is one of the most kind hearted men I know. My dad is the nicest man not just to me but to everyone he knows.

He is always respectful to you no matter who you are or what you do.

I can see much clearly now the hardships and the very many sacrifices he made for me and our family. He has shaped me into the person I am today. I don't believe we could have ever found a more dedicated father then mine. He has taught me, through words and actions, the meaning of love, honesty, hard work and making sacrifices. We have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful father whom we can also call our friend. If one day I can be half the parent my dad is to me I will be satisfied.
My dad has always stood behind us girls and always accepted us as the people we are. He has stuck with us through our many different interests, from dancing and boxing to softball and tennis. My dad no matter what sport we are doing at the time will always be right next to us every step of the way. As I’ve grown my dad has lead me into my passion, golf. When I first started golfing the only reason I liked going golfing with my dad is because he let me drive the cart. My dad kept with me
