Dear Daddy,
You’ve been gone for six years and I’ve had time to think. Now I’m ready to write this letter to you.
For a long time after Mom died, I thought I liked her more because I didn’t like your attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable. In my 15-year-old’s mind, I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death. Instead, you were off playing tennis and working. Later, I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important, but at the end of the day, it is a choice. You were just doing your best.
What I have learned is that I am much like you. You taught me self-confidence. I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something, I will be successful. This is no small thing. What I’ve realized since you died is that you were always there for me. You fought to ensure that I got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned. When I got divorced (离婚), you came up to see if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car.
You taught me not to spend money I don’t have. I’ve always kept to that rule. It has served me well. We always had a good home to live in, nice vacations, and everything we needed and most of what we wanted.
You were not a perfect parent and neither am I. My children are much more thankful than I ever was. I am thankful that I had you as my dad. I am still Daddy’s girl and I am proud of it.

Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
1. Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2. . There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? 3.. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.
You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4. . Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather.But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care.Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning.Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:
At the Lake or Pond
●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore.
●Ponds and lakes may hide sharp rocks, broken glass, or rubbish.
●Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes.
●Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm.
●Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol.Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water.
At the Beach

●Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over.
●Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help.
