Father's Day

I want to say that I love you daddy and I miss you. My father is in heaven now but he is thought about often. Of course today but not just because it's Father's Day but because of the man he was. I am 52 years old and I still call him daddy.My father adopted all of us (3 children) when I was 9.
My biological father left us when I was 3 years old. My mother never talked bad about my father( I hate to even refer him as that) She thought it was best we find out for ourselves . When we got older we started to ask questions and my mother finally had to tell us. My mom met daddy when I was 8. I have always respected my mom because she always said she would never let any of us kids meet the man she would date until it was serious and she had a ring on her finger. . That is exactly what she did. When they got engaged we met him and she indeed asked us If we were ok with it. Of course we were and they got married. I always thought of him as my real dad. As YOU all know just because you give birth to someone doesn't make them your mother or father. I would say my biological father was a sperm donar. A real parent is the one you grow up with, the one that gives you unconditional love the kind that is going to be there for you NO MATTER WHAT>. My father was that and much more. many people would look at us and say we look just alike. That put a smile on his face. I was proud!!!

He loved my girls like he gave birth to them. He couldn't love them anymore as if they were his.He would always say I was the holding cell and they were his. The girls saw him as a saint. If something needed to be taken care of ask PaPa he can do anything. I wish he could have been here to see our grand babies, he would have been proud!!!!As he got older he lost patience but not with the girls. In his eyes they were pure GOLD!!!!! So, you see why I thought my daddy was special. I could go on and on but I couldn't let this day go without saying I love you daddy and we all miss you.
Love you and miss you terribly, Maureen
