Daddy!!!!!!

I guess this is just an ode to my daddy. I love him very much, miss him what feels like even more. Wouldn't it be nice if things were kindergarten easy? .......it still wouldn't be though. I love him and I know he loves me but it would be nice to be able to experience that love.

I know we both have so many questions for the other........and I'm sure that one day they will all be answered. But when I look at the two of us in this picture. I see....pride.....I see a Father who is proud to be standing next to his daughter. I also see a daughter who is so proud to have her dad standing next to her. He kept me going that day. I was so scared. I remember standing outside the church doors.....just a jogging in place with my arm locked into his........He was my strength.

I miss my dad a lot. I remember when we use to go the end of the road (to the circle) where we use to live and it was a huge field..............a huuuuuuuuuge field that made me feel completely small......and wonderful. We would shoot skeet out there. Well, he would shoot it, but I was his handy skeet puller. Hahaha - amazing how much fun that was. And I'll never forget that black BB gun with the infrared site on it. WOW......I remember going outside and the entire backyard was draped in black.....from all the black birds I had taken down.......My dad and I always "did" things together - cool stuff......but we never really talked....you know how us women do.......and I have to say that I miss him.......and all the cool stuff we use to do!!! I love you dad!
