My dad is very kind and is interested in all the things I enjoy. He has helped me many different times in many different ways. He’s funny, caring, kind and everything a kid could wish for. This picture is the least I could do for him. He has shared his passion for music and the arts, and that is what I tried to represent in the picture. I hope it displays his bright cheery mindset. I love my dad.
