I'm gonna say it.
My dad is the best.
Why you ask? Well, for starters, he is the kind of dad that used to pick up not just me, but 4 of my friends from work in the city, drive each girl home and never complain about it.
If we wanted Dairy Queen, he took us. Given, it was likely because he too wanted a banana split but that's not the point here.
He worked in a factory all of his life and while he couldn't bring me extravagant treats, he would sometimes bring me a can of pop or a chocolate bar from the vending machine and then call me up from downstairs when he got home.
He would point at the drawer in the kitchen that was "mine" and I would open it to find the little surprise.
It wasn't the sweet treat that made me so happy.
It was, and is, the fact that I knew he thought about me during the day.
Today, we sometimes put too much emphasis on the what vs the how.
And I'll tell you, no amount of whatever could replace how he made me feel.
And that's loved.
Still does.

Dearest Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou once again did write so poetically from your beautiful heart about your own childhood experiences with your Dad. Indeed, it IS the thought of the other person when a gift (any gift) is being presented.
Wishing you and yours a very meaningful weekend coming up.

ReplyDeleteSOPRANO Cross Grain Leather Duffle Bag is Oerfect for traveling! My Dad is such a wonderful man! He's raised my sister and I on his own since we were 16 and 11. And he's been a wonderful granddad to our 3 daughters in total. I joke that he answers his phone EVERY time for us even though he has call display. He recently retired from the same place after 50 years. A great work ethic all his life.
