Dad

Dad,
I heard this song today, I think it's called "a father's love" by Bucky Covington. It made me think of you.

"He checked the air in my tires
The belts and all the spark plug wires
Said when the hell's the last time you had this oil changed
And as I pulled out the drive he said be sure and call your mom sometime
And I didn't hear it then but I hear it now
He was saying I love you the only way he knew how"

I know you love me, just like I also know you don't really understand me. I love you to. Half the time I don't understand myself. I know you do the best you can. You've done better than most fathers would have. I know it's been hard since mom died, but you've been there, and you haven't given up on me.

I'm really trying to get through all the turmoil in my life, but it's hard. I never expected to be in this position in life. I never expected for life to hurt this bad.

So dad, I just wanted you, and everyone else, to know that you're important and special, and I love you.

Always,
Denise
