Love is life butt so sweet when two lips meet Love is complete
How to make sure my Dad knows how much I love and appreciate him
How I did it: i don think that there are ever really enough words and actions or material things that let dads know how much they are really loved. my dad just had his birthday and i sent him a little book. it was not a big or expensive book, just a little one with a little story about a fat happy cow that ate and ate and ate and eventually the cow fell in the canal. i knew right away dad would love it because all i can remeber of my childhood are these ridiculous elaborate stories he would make up for us every night. the book was perfect for him. just because im marking this as done, and giving it a time frame, does not mean that i stop appreciating him or the like. i just feel that my dad knows that i love him. the email that i go from him about the book proves that.

I’m going to count this as done, because I told him how much he really means to me on my wedding day and in the thank you I wrote to him and my step-mother, I wrote an entire page about how much I appreciate the seen and un-seen things he’s done for me, the sacrifices, the pain, everything. Of course, he’ll never know the amazing, unending extent of the love I feel for him, but I’ve done a lot to ensure that he has a pretty good idea ; )

Looks like I can mark this as done. Here’s dad’s emailed response:
I can’t find where to check yes or no. So I’ll go out on a limb here and say: Yes. I think once early on it briefly crossed my mind: “What if she’s faking it?” And just as briefly it recrossed my mind: “I’m getting too much out of this to let something like that get in the way.” I’ll tell ya one thing I had no Idea about: That honor was such a powerful emotion. Or the word I like to use, if ya haven’t quite noticed yet, feeling. Honor is, I find, very complex. It is, nonetheless, easy to own. And with that: I love you too . . .

My pops and I were never close or even particularly well acquainted until recently, but we’ve done a pretty good job of making up for lost time. I’m pretty sure he knows I love and appreciate him, and he goes out of his way to make sure I know the same from him. But the day of the daddy is coming up soon, so I’ll shoot off an email to him as a reminder.
Draft:
Hey Viejo,
Do you have any idea how much I love and appreciate you? Check yes or no.
—No.1
My Dad is awesome. He’s bailed me out a lot of debt recently and helped me through a lot of things.
Trouble is, I have no way of saying thanks or letting him know that I love him.
I just don’t know how!
I feel so humble when I’m around him … he truley is a great person.

My dad and I have been through a lot together, and unfortunately it seems as if his time in this life is shortening fast. So my ultimate goal is to make sure he knows how much I really appreciate the life and the love he’s given me. I’ll take it one day at a time, and while it may not seem like much: I found this little plush ghost at Hallmark today that says “here’s to a BOOtiful Halloween” when you squeeze it. I bought it for him. I’m not really sure why I thought he’d like it, but I got it for him anyway. He really loved it. There’s my first step in showing some affection…
ChiOmegaGirl is a mommy! She's finally here!
I have so many great memories from my childhood, and my father has always done everything to make sure that I was happy and healthy. He deserves to know that I am the proud woman I am today because of him, his faith, and his guidance.
