Updated Letter to All Daughters Everywhere

Hello Sweetheart,
     It's your dad here & I wanted to tell you what you mean to me & I feel about you. You are the absolute love of my life. From the first time I laid eyes upon you, you always have been & you shall forever remain the embodiment of the definition of unconditional love & beauty. I am proud of you & blessed to call you my daughter. You are pure perfection to me. You really are someone, that's special. Your uniqueness, intellect, humor, kindness, beauty & honest-ness is awe inspiring. I can learn some things from you. I respect the person that you are & how you're growing into yourself. I'm thankful that I get to see you as an amazing child growing into an amazing adult. Did I mention that I think that you're amazing & I stand amazed at you in your amazingness? Well I do.
     Now I may not have always been perfect nor amazing at times. I can admit this as a sad truth for you bore witness to my actions & heard my words. Now whether it be that I wasn't around enough, or maybe I was there to much. I wonder if I praised you too much or not enough. Did I spoil you or did I neglect you? I can't pin point to any one particular mistake that I've made. I'm sure there were plenty. But I never meant for them to be negative or go in that direction, they were all supposed to be a father & daughter interacting, enjoying spending time together, bonding but it seems like I had done something that didn't sit right with you & there became a rift between us. I always wanted to be a good father, I think I always tried to be a good father, I hope I was a good father. But none of that assures that I actually was a good father. I never intended to harm you or cripple you in any way. I made mistakes but I didn't mean to & it didn't mean that I didn't love or appreciate the wonderful person you were (& still are). I never intended to make a mistake, I always thought that I tried my best & made the best decision with what I believed to be the best outcome when it came to you. It didn't always turn out for the best, but I swear that my intentions for you were always good & my top priority. I never wanted to hold you back, I want you to fly like I believe you can. I never intended for you to be affected by me, but again, I apologize for any & all my transgressions.
     I'm so bummed that you inherited some of my traits, you know the particular ones I'm talking about. I know they are a burden & they are not what I wanted for you. I know the noise, the chaos that's all encompassing & takes rule over some moments of your life. The torture you must go thru at times, I don't envy you but I know you are able to rise above. I have issues that test me everyday & I'm so sorry that you have to go thru the same thing. I want better for you, I wish for better things for you, I don't wish for you to have to go thru that experience. I'm sorry for giving you my infections. I am here for you to share with, maybe I can be a comfort to you, knowing that I know what you go thru at times, I can listen & relate. I can be there for you if ever you need or want.
     I may not always say exactly how I feel about you nearly as much as I should & that's my mistake. & sometimes when I do try & tell you how I feel about you it never seems like I properly expressed myself. I'm sorry for that, you deserve to know how special you are to me, how much I love you & how wonderful I think you are. You amaze me. You are a miracle to me. I learn things from you. I love being a part of your life. I am so very proud & blessed with you being my daughter. You truly are God's Creation that he bestowed upon your mother & I. I love you.
                                            I will forever be there for you, always.
I forever want to be a part of your life,
Love You Always & Forever,
Dad,
