Some of my most cherished childhood memories are:
I miss being held by my dad. Sometimes I wish I could be a little girl again and just climb into his arms and fall asleep. I love how I would fall asleep in weird places in our home and he would be my "prince" and carry my to my bed.
I remember asking my dad to marry me, because at the time there was no man who could come close to my Father in looks and personality. It turns out I found someone, but mainly because I had my Father's example to teach me what to look for. And not to get off topic, but I will forever be in debt to my dad, because my Husband is awesome.
Anyways, to describe how much of a daddy's girl I am, I will tell you a story. One time my dad was holding me and he was in his bathing suit. So, no shirt on. I remember thinking I was hungry, so I looked at my dad and thought, he has what mom has and that gives me food, so he should give me food too. I don't even know why I tried to nurse on my Father. he didn't have moobers, but after getting a mouthful of hair I realized, oh yeah. My dad isn't my mom. Both of my parents are wonderful people, but there are some things that he can't do that she can and vice versa.
As I have grown older my Dad has still always been there. I love the car rides we had to seminary. A lot of times they were quite, but it was a special time I had to sit with my dad every morning. I love how supportive he is. And I love that he cares about what I love. He is always sending me links to articles or pictures of wonderful astronomical and geologic things. He loves space too, so maybe I care about what he loves. But anyways, I love that he takes time to share those things with me.
Gosh, I just love my Dad so much. Me has a calming nature and always makes people laugh, maybe because they don't get his joke or maybe because he's just so so so awesome. My dad is the Best. I hope everyone has someone they can look up to as a Father figure and feel so full of love. If not, adopt my Dad (my Mom comes with the package, but she's awesome too)! Happy Father's day to a wonderful man, who has willingly listened to three kids and helped them through trials and helped them become their best. I love you Dad!!!!
