My Daddy (not poem format)

Dedications



Before I met Jon the love of my life he was all I had.My mom decided to take that away.So until 2001-02 I was all by myself. My dad is the greatest man alive. Yeah he may have hit my mom but I don't remember.As my mom said I was too young to remember.I know that I could have been.And saying that b/c I love him so much but it's kinda true.He was not all bad.I can remember some pretty good things that he has done for us.Not now and I don't blame him for not paying child support,after all mom has gave him hell ever since they split up.What made it so bad was that she thought it was best that I not know about the divorce.So I didn't know until a couple of months after it happened that's only because it was accidently mentioned.I can remember things that I can't even believe.But either way he was always there for me.He understands me and will take the time to listen yeah he's 15-18 hours away and may not be able to do much he at least listens...and he's out of state and some of my family are in the same house and they won't take the time out of their busy life to listen to my feelings.I know he has messed up but believe me he's paying for just as much as us if not more.So why not cut him some slack....He said one time he visited us that "she(me) is the only one who loves and cares about me" I was suppose to be asleep but I heard it...and other than my bubby I believe him.I will never give up on him.He tries that's all we can ask for.For him to make arrangements to come to our graduations...he's our dad but he's also in another state he doesn't have to do that.I love him with all I have and he loves me the exact same amount if not more.If he didn't he wouldn't have kissed my forehead every morning at 4:30 in the morning and said "see ya when u get home baby-girl".Or put me on the sink so I could watch him shave,or taste to make sure the kool-aid was just right..Those little things will be with me forever...They mean the most.What else can I say but he's my daddy and no one can take his palce.

He's My Hero
