Thoughts about Daddys

The other day I was talking to Mr Soldier and we were counting down until our Christmas vacation and I said something along the lines of "9 days until I see my Daddy again" and he looked at me and said why just your Dad? He was curious as to why I didn't say 9 days until I see my family again and it got me thinking about a girl and her father. I talk to my Mum multiple times a week, I hear her say I love you on the phone, she hears me say it back, we have an amazing relationship. My brothers are teenagers and are way too cool for me and go through days of deleting me on facebook when they know there are going to be drunk photos of them on there that I might talk about and then they add me again once they have done damage control. But my Dad? Well we email ALL THE TIME but I don't hear his voice that much and I guess I just can't wait for that. I love him so much, I love them all so much, but my Dad? He is the best and I just want to cry when I think that I am over here so far away from him. When we settle down, we choose what is best for our new families and I chose to follow Mr Soldier around and live in America for him. Would I love to England and see my parents more? Absolutely. Maybe it is because of that. Maybe I am more excited to see him because I have Mr Soldier and I want my Dad to know he is still important too. Now I am just rambling....Anyway moral of the story, I am glad Madison has a Daddy as cool as mine : )

  1. You are very lucky to have such a special relationship with your father. My dad and I are far from close, and I often wish it were different! But my husband is GREAT with kids, so I know he'll be a much more involved parent for all our kiddos- boy or girl, and it makes me happy to know our kids will have a special bond with him. :)
