What
is there to say? What is there to say? Dad,
Dad is a word that for nineteen years I have taken for granted and overlooked.
Like many children, I always shyed away from my fathers advice and help by
saying things like " Okay dad, uh huh, whatever" I don't know if I did
this because I was embarressed or just because he was my dad. I would hear kids
in my Jr. High school say that they hated there fathers because they wouldn't
let them go to a party or on a date, and no matter how mad at my dad i was I
would never tell the other kids I hated him, because i never did hate him. The
sad thing is that, I would tell him I hated him, I know that he knew i didn't
really hate him, But how selfish was I? How could I have only thought of myself
and my feelings for so long? My dad, Well he isn't the Richest man in the world,
In fact we don't really have a lot of money, We may not have the nicest cars, or
the latest in Technology either. But we have love, Love cannot buy us anything
it's true, But I'd rather have a smile on my face everyday then 10 million dollars.
Sometimes, When I go out to the mall or walking through downtown, I will smell
something sweet coming from a nearby bakery and I stop, and think of my father,
How he can make the perfect Cinnamon rolls and how he goes out of his way to
make them, just because I like them. In High school, I wasn't the
best student. I hate letting my parents down. I know that I kinda do it alot. I
didn't get all A's like my sister did, and I wasn't in any clubs. I think that
the biggest accomplishment I had in High school was my senior year. My senior
year I had good grades, and a month before I was to graduate, I was named
student of the year. I was proud of myself, But the first thing I thought of was
that I couldn't wait to tell my dad, And for The first time in my life I
realized that I didn't need to be student of the year for my dad to be proud of
me.....All I needed was to be myself and believe in Me.... I guess what I am
trying to say is That i never know quite the right way to tell my daddy that his
little girl loves him, But I hope in his heart that he already knows I do. |
