11. to teach her to believe that she deserves to be treated well.
12. to teach her to accept the differences in others.
13. to teach her to weigh the consequences of her actions and make decisions accordingly.

23. to be the standard against which she will judge all men.
24. who will influence her life, even when he isn't with her.
25. to tell her that all is not hopeless, even when she feels it is.
26. to join her journey when she is too afraid to walk alone.
27. to make the tough decisions for her until she is able to make them for herself.
28. so that she will have at least one hero who will not let her down.

35. to teach her to be honest in all her dealings.
36. to help her try again whenever she fails.
37. to remind her of what she may not remember.
38. so that when no one else is there for her, she can close her eyes and see him.
39. to think highly of her when no one else will.
40. to hold her as she cries.
41. to carry her just because she wants to be carried.

48. to show her all the boys are not like the one who hurt her.
49. to stand with her on the day she marries the man she hopes will be just like her father.
50. because without him she will have less in her life than what she deserves.
