I don't write much about my Dad, not sure why really, I should. He is a great Dad. Im not just writing because he brought it to my attention either, I have good reasons to write about him. My Dad has loved me unconditionally my entire life. He has never held anything over me, even when there have been times I know i've put him through hell. He loves my brothers and I so much, and it clearly shows in his loving support. He also gives his step-children the same unconditional love and support as he does his own blood. If you have ever been a step parent, then you know the patience it takes to do just that. If you have not, then you can only imagine. He has always been there for all six of us kids everytime we need a helping hand no matter what we might have said or done in the past. That alone, makes him the number one Dad in my eyes.
There have been times in my life where I have broken my Dad's heart. Times that I have let others control how I think and do, times I regret. Yet, he never stopped loving me. Never stopped being here for me when I have needed him the most. When Davy had his hunting accident my world was torn. I have never felt a heartbreak so bad. A pain so deep that it still sometimes bleeds like an open wound-- and who was the person that stood by my side with his loving support that I needed the most-- my Dad. I couldn't have Davy at the time and the next best thing to me was my Dad. He cried with me, prayed with me, held me at times-- I needed that so badly and I am forever thankful to him for that. He was there by our sides when we lost Davy's Mom, and again the night we lost Un Dave. He is a friend to my husband, and often a father figure to him as well.
We cannot forget what an awesome Papa he is. From the time the girls were little they have been wrapped around his finger. For someone who said he was to young to be a Grandpa, he sure does love those girls. They enjoy going places and doing things with their Papa & Grandma. It's rather fun raising kids with your parents. :)
We always joke around about who will take care of Dad when he gets to his older ages, he can rest assure that I will take care of him 110 percent. I will always give him the same love and support that he has given me when I have needed it the most.
I feel I got my personality from my dad. My good traits are that I am outgoing, funny, friendly, hard working, giving, sharing, & best of all I know how to love unconditionally because of him. We can't forget my "OCD" part either. Which can often be a good thing, not just a bad thing. ;)
Dad, I love you, always. I thank you for raising me to be the person I am today. I thank you for all you have given me. I thank you for always loving me unconditionally.
