today i was reminded how lucky i am to be my father’s daughter.
i need to remind myself EVERYDAY of his sacrifice and commitment to my brother and i. he doesn’t ask anything of us. nothing. when we were younger it was good grades, now that we are older it’s ‘a career job, financial stability, kids’ you know that normal.
sometimes i am hit with the feeling that i am the most selfish daughter ever and i just take all my parents (more so my dad’s) and blow it on clothes/trips. i am enjoying myself with my parents money. i’m the worst daughter ever. i mean it COULD BE worse, i’m not spending it on bailing myself out of jail or to feed a cocaine addiction, but that’s all relative.
i think that my father has always been like a superman in my life. he knows all the answers ALL the time. today was no different. because he hardly screws up or forgets things, when he does it’s like it hurts that much more. that’s totally unreasonable though. he is human, he makes mistakes, he has flaws. to me he always has all the RIGHT answers and it’s to him that i seek the most approval.
kids, your parents do know what’s right for you. i know that you think that they don’t, but they definitely do.
with my boyfriend, father and brother, i feel BY FAR the richest and luckiest person.
