8*23*10
I really enjoyed writing about my daddy today in class. It's the first time I've written something personal and it felt good to express myself and the love and appreciation I feel for him. I noticed after I wrote it though and when I re-read it that it didn't flow and I jumped around a lot from memories from my childhood, to when I was older, back to being a little kid again. So I think I'm going to keep writing about it, fix it up, and maybe make it into a letter to give to him? Should I? Because we don't usually TELL each other how we feel, we just know. And I think it would be super nice if I actually told him. Yesterday was his birthday and that was actually my inspiration for writing about him today. So if you think I should write a letter or something please let me know. Thanks! :)

I think that's a FABULOUS idea, really. I'm sure he would love to get a letter from you like that. Because even though you act with love and you show your love, it's always nice to read and hear about someone's love. The times my dad and I talked, it was always through writing--that was almost the only way we could communicate. So I know it's appreciated. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI say you should! I agree with Sarah, that its always nice to read about how someone feels as well as hearing. So i say go for it. And it will definately help you fix things up, and get your memory flowing properly. And the more you write, the more random memories you forgot about, will come back up. You'd be surprised.
ReplyDeleteOkay so as I mentioned before, it was my daddy's birthday last week. Our relationship is mostly goofy, funny, with lots of joking around so I usually get him funny birthday cards, but this year I got him a... well, "mushy" card I guess you could say. He read it and continued opening his presents, then just said thanks. I was looking for a more heartfelt thank you so I was a little disappointed when all he said was a general thanks to everyone, then wanted cake. It wasn't until today that my mom told me that my dad really appreciated my card and didn't know that I felt that way about him. I just wish we could communicate better, especially considering that he couldn't tell me that himself and I found out from my mom. :(
ReplyDeletei say you should and i agree with tevor if you do keep writing about your dad a lot of old funny and weird memories will pop in your head and also can make new memories like tonight when i was over for dinner lol. and i think that your guys realtionship will get a lot better and he will might trust you more with out him saying that you dont have enough clothes on, but on another girl it is cute lol.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne, it's good to know you treasure your relationship with you dad. It is one of the best you could have in your life, and many people don't have it. My dad is wonderful, he is the greatest influence in my life. I understand what you mean when you speak of him. It seems sometimes that my dad can read my mind.
