Today is my Dad's birthday. The best dad I could ever hope for. My hero, friend.......my daddy. Mina's Poppi....Joelle's Papa. Their hero too. And why wouldn't he be? He would do anything for them. And I really do mean anything. Spend five minutes watching him interact with his two princesses and you will see nothing but pride, love and admiration in his eyes. Oh, but look very closely because you will witness the same in the eyes of Joelle and Marina. Who is the first person Joelle calls with test grades? You got it....Papa. He makes sure to convey just how proud he is of her. He listens.....the most important thing to a grandchild. He really listens. Who does Marina call when she just wants to talk? No question....her Poppi. He makes sure to tell her how wonderful she is and how proud he makes her. She'll tell stories that may not make sense sometimes but he listens.....the most important thing to a grandchild. He really listens.
As for me, my Dad makes sure I'm always okay. If I need anything, I know who I can call. And you know what? Dad never hesitates. He knows its not easy doing the manly things around the house when it's just me.
He worries about me.....oh boy, does he worry. But he shouldn't. I'll always be okay because I have him. He always makes sure to tell me how proud he is of me and continues to make me feel good about the job I'm doing as a single parent. I talk to my Dad pretty much daily. I love talking to him because he really listens....the most important thing to a daughter. He really listens. And for that I am grateful.
I love you Dad!
