I am overwhelmingly blessed to have the father that I do. Of anyone, I think he may be one of the experts in my life of doing the little things to make me (and my mom) smile. He is one of the most caring people I have ever met in my life, even if he doesn't show it well or even all the time. But the times he does show it, it's not for recognition or for something in return, it's just because he's thinking of me. He's my first love and he's the man I owe so much to. I could never ask for a better father, Godly man to lead my family all these years, provider, or friend.
Very often Daddy reminds me of how important the little things are. Like today for example. Before I even got up for class, he had to go to physical therapy. I left for class before he got home and about halfway to school I realized I had missed his call. I called him back and he said "I brought you a biscuit (from Martin's, my favorite) but you're not here. I'll put it in the refrigerator." He thought I would still be there when he got back, and brought me breakfast. I was disappointed that I didn't get to eat that delicious biscuit today, but I have something to look forward to in the morning and it'll put a smile on my face because he did it just for me.
This is only one instance of many, many things Daddy does for me. Throughout my life he has never hesitated to provide for me everything I needed and most of the things I wanted as well (within reason). I could never thank him enough for this life he has given me and the loving example he has given me. It is normally emotional for me to talk about him, because I am a daddy's girl through and through. As I sit here typing, my eyes are watering. Whether that's from love, happiness, or sadness that my time living at home with him is coming to a close as I approach graduation, I would say it's a mixture. I know he'll always be here for me. Always. He loves me like Jesus does, and for that, I could never ask for more.
Until next time,
Reychel
