daddy's little girl

i love my daddy. i really am a "daddy's girl." don't get me wrong, i love both my parents, but i definitely have a special bond with my dad. i always feel comfortable talking to him about anything. and he knows how to calm me down. my mom and i don't always see eye to eye (my dad says it's because we are so alike...which scares me, to be honest) but after my mom and i have an argument, my dad is always the one to come calm me down.

today i had lunch with him, which was really nice. we don't get to spend a lot of daddy-daughter time especially since i've left for college. we went on a grocery shopping date at the beginning of the semester which was fun, but it was nice to just sit down and talk. and have it relaxed. i've had a rough couple of days and just talking to him (not even about why i had a rough day, but just in general) was really nice and soothing. i really needed that. he's proud of me and i can tell. just by the way he looks at me and talks to me about certain things. and even better, he tells me how proud he is. i appreciate that. i need that.

i really love my dad. they always say the guy you marry is usually like your dad, and i really hope that's the case with my future husband. my future husband has to meet some pretty high standards ;)

dad, you mean the world to me. i appreciate everything you do for me and everything you have done for me. i am very lucky to have you in my life. ♥ always, your (oldest) little girl
