This post is about 45 minutes late (Brunei time GMT+8:00), but what the hey. It’s dedicated to my one and only daddy, and all the bazillion other daddies in the world. You are important, and you make a difference!
What I love about my daddy/am thankful for:
- His strength – emotionally and physically
- His stability – in faith and emotions
- His DIY can-do approach to a lot of things
- His handyman-like nature
- His hard shell exterior but soft gooey interior
- His recent (3ish years?) displays of love and affection towards me [refer to abovementioned point]
- His secret longing for grandkids (shown when we are out with family/friends with young kids, and also towards our dogs/puppies)
- His old fashioned take to things, which is sometimes annoying but sometimes is really good insight
- His lame jokes, which I think only I laugh to..or should I say at?
- His sacrificial love, in action – not only expressed in words. Which includes,
- Wanting the best for all his children – as much as he can give.
- His watchful eye to let me make my own decisions and yet he catches me when I fall.
Daddy, I love you. You really are my hero. HEARTS!
[This is the first daddy’s day since 6 years that I’ve not had to cry when I think of daddy..though I was close to crying when I typed this post out]
