Dear Kix,
There is no question in the entire world as to who my hero is, he's my Dad!
He has been my teacher, best friend, my rock and role model. He has been through a lot in his life and has never let anything hold him back. He has gone through two organ transplants and a stroke but has never quit or let it get him down. He has taught my sister and I to be strong women. He never asks for help, but he will be the first one to offer his hand when someone else needs it. He would give his last sip of water to someone if they needed it.
I love him so much and there are so many reasons he is my hero I could talk for days about him.
I love you, Dad.
Thanks, Kix!
Sincerely,
Amanda
