My Hero!

Father's Day is a special day of the year where we get to give special thanks to our dads. I was definitely a "daddy's girl" I just loved and cherished getting attention from my dad as far back as I can remember; in fact I still do and I am 56! I was proud to be my dad's little princess and no matter how old I am I will always be his little princess. No matter what kind of stresses in life I found myself dealing with at different times in my life, my dad was always a comfort. Helping me to carry on and move forward, his presence eased the pain and hurt that I was feeling. My dad likes to maintain the appearance of the tough and rough guy, but he really is just a big softie if the truth is told. Often my father would address me in a rough or grim manner on one topic or another, he seemed more comfortable with this approach. He is not the type of man that is into group hugs etc. but more about the tough love approach. However, more often than not his true colours come out--that being that he is full of gentle and sweet intentions. I guess my dad would prefer to be viewed as a bit of a tough fella rather than a big softie! Those that truly know him (the immediate family) know that he is truly the later (big softie)!

Dad Making me Feel Better with a Good Laugh!

One thing my dad has always had is a great sense of humor, always knowing how to find the funny side of things. Laughter is a great healer in helping one feel better and this is something my dad can deliver. Even in times when we had our arguments or difference of opinions; the one thing that I was sure of was no matter what my dad would always love me. I have always felt that my riches in life were my parents and loved ones. I truly feel blessed to have such a caring family with the head of it (my dad)-running things like a true king of his domain! Totally surrounded by his loyal and loving followers--his family! He is a true inspiration to me, as I have watched him the past few years fight against cancer--like a true warrior he is fighting every step of the way--with his queen (my mother) by his side through the thick and the thin of these trying times!

Dad- My Mister Fix it!

People have different ways of expressing their feelings; my dad is always fixing and getting things for me. This being his way of showing his love for me. He will take care of my needs in many ways from getting a curtain rod for me to supplying me with garden supplies. When he phones he likes to make it clear that he is calling because my mum is worried. I know it is really him that is worried but I just go along with it as it is what he feels comfortable with. I have always felt blessed that I have such loving and caring parents that have always put my brother's and my own needs before their own. My dad is a special man in my life who I look up to and respect, even though we have our disagreements from time to time. I find it hard to express myself to him face to face. I want to give him a big hug and tell him I love him more than I do. I only hope my dad knows how much I do love and care about him. My parents live in Kitchener, and my husband Mike and I have been living in Miller Lake for the past 3 1/2 years. We used to be much closer to them when we lived in Elmira. I do miss my time with my dad having a good chat with him and a laugh-live. The great thing about having an iPad is that I can have live chats with my parents and feel that bit closer to them. Well, what better day to let our dads know that we love them and let them know they are our heroes! Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there may you all enjoy your special day!

Dedicated to: My Hero (Dad)
