I didn't really have a dad until a little over a year ago. I mean he was around but my moved moved out and across the country before I turned one so all I knew of him was a week once a year. Anyway, now it is so good! Not perfect, and in some ways we are still just getting to know each other, but he and my step-mom became family somehow and I am a much better person as a result. .-= Miss Tricky´s last blog ..Even though today started poorly…. =-.

This choked me up more than a bit. Daddy had his first chemo treatment yesterday. I was excited to hear he handled it pretty well and ate dinner last night. My response was to tell him that he could kick cancer’s ass. It was better than crying.

Which is certainly something I do quite a bit when I talk of my dad lately.

My relationship with my father…is a lot like me. It’s a aurvivor and I’m grateful for it.

Yeah … I think they are… growing up mine was always the place all my friends congregated to as well.. one even came to live with us for a while, she has said to me that to this day, neither of my parents have ever asked why she had to come and stay with us for 2 months, they just opened their door and their arms and made her up a bed… that was just the way of my parents… particularly my Mum… I used to have huge pyjama parties… boy/girl.. we were all just friends, between 15 and 20 of us alll crammed into the loungroom and would watch videos all night … I lived in a beach suburb so we would all walk down to the beach, to the end of the breakwall.. then we would go and watch the sun rise…. and my parents never complained…

THIS is exactly what I wanted from these blogs.

I love that your dad drove a truck, and that you thought it was cool. I get the ‘looking forward to him coming home’ bit – I had it when my dad would go to the Phillipines or whereever.

I’m still processing the rest.

I know. He tells me all the time when I randomly call him or text him just to tell him that I love him and he’s the best.
