Dear
Reader, Fathers, they are the best and the worst….they say that the
relationship between fathers and daughters are really special. If I said that
my father is perhaps the most interesting man in my life, you’ll roll your eyes
…but it’s true!
To
say that our relationship is tumultuous, would be an understatement….but behind
the bickering, the constant disagreements and the furious silences; lies a love
that only a daughter can feel for her father. My father is not my best friend,
he is not sweet or even gentle, he is in fact the strongest man I know.
By strength,
I don’t mean that he is a physical colossus; it is his mental strength and the strength
of his character that inspires me daily. We have had our differences through
the years, indeed, there were times that I thought that the differences in our temperaments
and way of dealing with things was insurmountable.
Yet
there he was, supporting me through the worst times in my life. He gave me
strength to take the toughest decisions in my life. I may not be the best
daughter in the world but I know that I have a wonderful father, who perhaps
drew a short straw when I was foisted on him...But, do you know dear reader, I
am glad..I love him for his frowns and his smiles that he tries to hide, and
for his morals and his unconditional support....I love you dad...you rock..I
may not say this often but you really are the best of fathers. J

P.S If you ARE joining the Challenge, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND turning off the word verification. It keeps the real people who want to comment from trying to comment since it takes sometimes three times as long to navigate through. Turning off anonymous comments is much more effective and that's what we recommend. Thanks! Just some friendly advice...
Thank you Tina! :) My father liked this too...he doesn't read my blog often but for some reason he read this and he agrees with me...that he's awesome. :P
