Everything from taking me to skating lessons every week, cheering me on at soccer, entering me into the grape and wine races, taking me skiing or just taking us out in the canoe at the cottage. I'm thankful to have the best teacher in the world coaching me. I love you so much . Jourdan Dear Dad, I love you very much I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me.
