Daddy Dearest

Its that time of year again, nahh not the holiday season..although that is in full swing too. Nope the topic of today’s post is my dad.

Here is a sweet little story from a little girls point of view…

Mom decides we must move to Texas, of all the unholy places in the world..uggg I have to move again. I will hate her forever over this. Ok maybe not, I just got icecream, yummie.

After a few months of living here in Texas my baby sister is here…I’m wondering can we give her away yet?? Hmm maybe not, shes really cute when she wiggles like that.

Mom has really taken to this one guy she met at her job. I think he’s pretty cool so far.

Well once again we are moving, but this time I was asked, sorta. Mom thinks she is in love with that one guy she met at her job. I still think he is cool but now I’ve got to share my spotlight with his kids too…together for a grand total of 7..how am I suppose to shine with that??

Flash foward many years and one marriage later…

Today we go to court..no mom and that guy arent getting divorced, he is adopting me and my sister..of course I’m not sure why anyone would want her..she is always digging in my stuff…Ohhh why me!! Anyhow mom has been married to this guy for a few years now and I really like him. I’ve never known my real dad and personally I think this guy is great!! He has been there for not only my mom and sister but for me too. I adore him…are all dads this great??

Now as an adult, reflecting on her life…

Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. His once dark black hair is now really well peppered with silver and he has still been there for me every bit of the way. For someone that I don’t share DNA with he has been the greatest dad I’ve ever known. He has been there for me when I was a young mom dealing with a sick infant. He has been there during my rough patch with the ex-husband. Fact is after many years of up’s and down’s he has always given his love to kids he didn’t father. In my mind that makes the very best dad.

So this blog is in his honor for his birthday..To the best dad a girl could ever hope for.

BTW, in the young ages my sister drove me nuts…but in truth I dont think life would be that great if she wasn’t around….and Thank the heavens mom FORCED me to move to Texas…so she could live her “happy ever after”…thats still going strong.

Most of all, I love you daddy and hope your birthday is a great one.
