Daddy’s Little Girl

I am kind of superstitious. As much as I yammer on I keep my cards closer to my chest than you might think. When my Universe is in flux I tend to just shut up and hold on.

This morning a girlfriend said “You don’t really talk much about your dad.” And my eyes welled up with tears. “Nope. Because there isn’t that much to say. It isn’t complicated. I Love him, like little girl Love him. He’s my Dad. And I’m his little girl.”

I’m not a fan of vaguebooking (the intentionally vague Facebook status) nor do I think it is all that cool to use my blog to tell someone else’s story. Occasionally I have to make a choice to just shut up altogether or to tell only part of the story.

My dad needs surgery. This little girl is kind of inside out about that. I might be quiet this week. I am planning to head to see my father as soon as I am able. In the meantime if you have extra good juju, prayers or well wishes – I’ll take them. He’s going to be just fine. Because he’s my dad. He’s fought bigger battles. And he always wins. Because he’s my dad. And I am his little girl.

Couldn’t relate more, sending all kinds of good juju his way. Dad’s need their little girls to take care of them sometimes.

Thinking about you both and your family. But he is a tough guy (very soft on the inside) and will do very well – I feel it in my bones.
