I have too many favorite quotes. But here&#039;s two:<br /> &quot;Just remember that you&#039;re unique, just like everybody else.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yesterday was history, tomorrow&#039;s a mystery, and today&#039;s a gift. That&#039;s why it&#039;s called present!&quot;<br /> Chocolate Rocks!!!

I don't ever wanna see you cry.
You need to be tough.
You need to be strong.
You have to protect us
From burglars,
From monsters,
From zombies.
You're everything to me.
My role model.
My savior.
My hero.
You're my father.
You're my dad.
You're not supposed to cry.
You're never supposed to cry.
You can't cry.
Don't cry.
Please don't cry.
Daddy, please.
Please don't cry.
