Dear Dad，
Happy birthday to you !
On this special day I’d like to talk to you 16 a special way．
I don’t think I am good at  17 you my thought face to face with you，so I’m writing to show my deep love for you．
You’re not a rich man or a famous person．But in my heart，you are one of the greatest  18 in the world．I am  19  you．
You are  20 interested in fame and wealth．You do  21 things like paying phone bills on time，and working as a worker in your factory．The smile on your face shows you are pleased with the family．You take good care of my grandparents．You help me with my schoolwork and do some shopping with Mom on Sundays．
In the past，I didn’t care  22 you were with me or not．Now I am sorry to say I  23 you the respect before．But I am thankful for what you have done for me． I am quite lucky that I have  24  a great father．And I feel happy that now I can let you  25 how much I love you．You are successful as a son，a husband，a father，and a friend．
Wish you happy forever!
Yours，David
