50 increíbles razones por las que quiero a mi padre

There are so many badass reasons why I love my dad that I decided to put them all in writing. Why? Because why wait for Father’s Day to tell your dad how you feel?

I truly do have the best dad ever, and since dads don’t get near enough credit that they deserve, it’s all the more reason to shout it from the rooftops!

My dad is the first person to make every single family member laugh until we cry. Whatever my sisters and I need, he’s there to provide it no matter what.

Whatever he’s going through, we are always his number one priority. He is the most selfless, generous man I’ve ever known, and being his daughter is one of my favorite things in the world.

Ever since I was a little girl, he’s been like my best friend. I see so much of myself in him and honestly, nothing makes me happier.

Mi padre es realmente uno entre un millón, ¡y aquí tienes un montón de razones de por qué!

Es la personificación de la DIVERSIÓN

I don’t know how many people have a dad who’s the only person to make them laugh in difficult times. But I can honestly say that I do!

He is fun, loud, loves to crack jokes, and almost never stops talking (almost to a fault). He’s the first one to break into a song with me and just enjoy the moment singing and laughing.

Everybody who knows him will tell you that he’s the coolest, funkiest, and funniest person you could ever know. His sense of humor is the coolest, truly.

And no matter what I’m going through, I know that he’ll be able to get me to crack a smile. I love my mom to the moon and back, but when it comes to fun, my dad’s the go-to guy.

He’s strong, resilient, and hopeful

He’s been through his fair share of difficult times (still does), but regardless of all that, his spirit, strength, and resilience are astounding.

He’ll never show it when he’s feeling unwell. He gets up every time life knocks him down. Whenever he’s told bad news, he handles it like a champ.

Honestly, I admire that more than probably anything else. He’ll never be one to complain and take life’s beating. He lives his life exactly the way he did at a young age and nothing can stop him.

That’s one of the cool things about him. You could never tell that he’s had it hard because he’d never let it show!

Es el mayor fan de la música que conozco

Una de las muchas razones por las que quiero a mi padre es su profunda adoración por la música. La pasión que siente por ella es inspiradora.

Y lo transfirió todo a mí.

When we are together, you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be having a jam session, each one louder than the other. He used to sing in a band, and he’s really good actually!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, he’s kind of lost his voice now, but he still goes at it full throttle.

And with him, there will always be the coolest atmosphere because he’s just that kind of person. His life wouldn’t be complete without music, and luckily, I am exactly the same.

Es tan buen marido

I love the way he is with my mom. He would do anything for that lady. He makes her dinner when he knows she’ll come home late and tired from work.

He watches TV shows that she likes, even though he’s not a fan, just so they can spend time together.

When it’s her birthday, he puts so much thought into gift ideas, and he makes sure to write the most beautiful note, and not just give a generic card with the typical feliz cumpleaños línea.

He makes her smoothies when she comes home from the gym and buys her ice-cream when she’s in a bad mood.

Anything you’d hope for in a husband, he’s that and more.

Mata arañas por mí

Sé que esto es una tontería, pero ¿realmente lo es? Tengo un miedo extraño a las arañas (y a otros bichos) y siempre que me tropiezo con una, sé a quién llamar.

He’ll just laugh at me, get rid of the thing, and make fun of me for being so dramatic. With him, you can be sure that he’ll find the light side to every situation.

Así que sí, una de las razones más tontas por las que quiero a mi padre es que mata arañas, bichos y cucarachas por mí. No mucha gente haría eso, ¿sabes?

Le encantan las aventuras

My dad loves to have a good time. Just because he’s a certain age, does not mean he’s done having fun. He loves to go to festivals and catch his favorite bands.

He loves going on vacation with my mom all around the globe. He’ll never just turn into a couch potato and not leave the house just because he feels he’s too old or something.

Para él, la edad no es más que un número. Y verle tan feliz y proactivo, incluso hoy, hace que yo también quiera ser más aventurera.

At this point, he goes out more than I do. And we can’t have that, now, can we?

Conoce el valor del trabajo duro

Right, he’s retired, but up until the last day, he worked so hard, without ever complaining. He was a cop, and he worked insane shifts.

Admiraba su ética de trabajo y su dedicación a la profesión. Me ha enseñado muchas lecciones de vida, pero el valor del trabajo duro las supera a todas.

Because of him, I am who I am today, and in a way, I owe it all to him. He’s always pushed his boundaries and found a solution no matter the problem.

Hay muchas razones por las que mis hermanas y yo queremos tanto a papá, pero esta es una de las más importantes.

Da los mejores abrazos

Who doesn’t like a long, reassuring hug from their dad, right? My dad truly does give the best hugs.

No matter what I’m going through, he’ll just look at me, give me a slight smile, and bear hug me, washing all of my worries away.

And I know that anyone can hug you, really. But it’s not about the hug per se, it’s about the person, don’t you think?

Y cuando viene de mi padre, significa mucho más. Porque siento todo el amor con ese simple abrazo de diez segundos.

Siempre me manda mensajes sin motivo

My dad is one of my favorite texting buddies, which is something I never thought I’d say. He’ll just hit me up asking whether I’ve seen a certain new movie.

En realidad, casi nadie me manda tantos mensajes como él. Hablamos de música, series de televisión, películas y actualidad.

He is up-to-speed on literally everything going on in the world, and he’ll always be the first to tell me about any news I may have missed.

Isn’t that so cool? Ever since he got the hang of his new smartphone, he’s really making an effort to always keep in touch.

Es tan protector conmigo

Dads, in general, are really protective of their daughters and I think it’s so great. I cannot wait to have a husband who’ll be as protective of our kids the way my dad is over my sisters and me.

I just know that he’ll always make sure I’m safe. If he hears about anyone mistreating me in any minor way, let’s just say: pity the fool.

It’s really reassuring having a dad so involved and who cares so much. Sure, sometimes dads can go overboard, but it’s all out of pure love. They don’t know any other way!
