Do You Ever give CHEERS to those you love?

This question really got me thinking, along with a recent spat my father and I had; that I don't give enough praise to my wonderful father. And it really got me thinking as to why? Why don't I let my dad know how much I appreciate him, how much I look up to him, how much I want to make him proud? I guess when it comes down to it: Nothing. Nothing is stopping me from telling him how much I love him, but I still don't know why I don't. It really feels alien to me to let my father know these things. I think that's a major priority that I need to work on.
Also, since I'm a firm believer on actions speak louder then words. I must not just let my father know but also show him. From here on out; I will pick up after myself, get busy into hobbies, work hard to help make money, save money for going back to school, and make things for him and our home. My dad is a prime example of someone who works hard for what he has and if I become even half of what my father is, then I know I'm well on my way to making my dad proud. <3
