Showing some appreciation

Tonight my brother and I got into it with our dad once again. It seems like he's always mad about something. Every night when he comes home he gets mad about anything! It is the most annoying thing ever. Naturally my brother and I just went into our rooms to get away from his anger. Then my brother made me realize something. Our dad, that angry man who always seems to be mad or irritated is one of the best men I know. He gets up at 6am every single day and goes to work until 7 or 8 at night, then he comes home and is exhausted and gets little help from all of us. We are all so caught up in our own lives that we never take time out to show him how much we really do appreciate all that he does for us and all of the love he truely does show us.
I want to change, I want to be able to show my dad and anyone else that I appreciate what they mean to me. Now a days so many people are caught up in the hustle of their own lives that they seldom take time out to show those people that are important to them how much they mean to them. The thing is, life is short,you never know how much time left you have to show someone what they mean to you. I'm not trying to sound morbid, I'm just being realistic. Keeping your feelings locked inside of you isn't going to get you very far. Putting off how you feel about someone is the same exact thing. Why waste time? There's really nothing to lose in making someone feel loved. You never know how many chances you have left and honestly, people love feeling loved. I don't care who you are, being told that someone loves you is one of the greatest feelings in the world, and why shouldn't it be? So to all of those people who are there for me,(this includes: my best friend in the entire world Felicia, my wonderful and amazing boyfriend Brian, my two brothers, my parents, my family, and any of my friends that have been there for me in any way) I just want to say I love you all so much and you all mean the world to me :) thank you for everything you do! :)
