Dad appreciation post, personal ramblings.

yall dont know the fucking lengths of love my dad showed me as a kid in ways that I personally love most. That man would do my l9ve language. We are 90% the same person.

My dad, until I was at least 13, would cut my steaks up into bite sized chunks and always tell me to chew a LOT just so I wouldnt choke.

Hed cut my corn off the cob, because he knew I fucking hated eating it on the cob.

He steamed broccoli just enough to where it atill had crunch, because he knew I hate mushy veggies.

He would always play the card game speed eith me and checkers anytime I wanted.

He would read to me in bed, and would eventually teach me to read. Hed stay in my bed aith me while we read until I fell asleep, cuz I liked showing him my books.

He got me countless books about animals and their anatomy. He also got me a bunch of michael jordan books becayse I adored them.

He always supported my cooking and baking obsession, even if he didnt like what I made.

He taught me to parallel park every single night and helped me study a bunch for my drivers test because he knew I was nervous.

He would take me and my brother on river canyon trips for a few days every summer because he knew how much I loved rocks and water, and that i needed time away from people.

He would endure my ace ventura jokes, weird ass humor and annoyances all the time and even laugh when I did them, even though they were annoying.

He would try to help me with my math homework, even though I've got discalculia

He encouraged me to do well in school but never scolded me if I failed, because I believe my parents knew I had a learning disability.

He would watch volcano and history documentaries with me all the time, because I was so interested.

He let me dig holes in our backyard in search of goodies because of how interested I was in archeology.

He came up with songs with me, and taught me phrases that I remember to this day.

He always put extra sunscreen on me any4ime it was sunny, and taught me that safety is much more important than trying to always look good.

Hes always checking my cars oil, tire pressure, and reminding me to do that before ANY trip I have.

He pays for my cars repairs, tires, and so forth. Never asks for a dime back even though I say I want to. He refuses. I'm privileged for that.

Sometimes hell take my car to town just to fill it up with gas and not tell me becayse he knows I'm unable to buy myself gas and I dont like asking.

He ALWAYS is excited when I cook. Literally always excited.

Anytime hes out hiking or hunting he spends an extra 2 hours looking for crystals and rock formations to give to me, because I'm very interested in geology. So far hes found fossilized fish, geode, quartz, amethyst, petrified wood, and a variety of other crystals. He now gets them for me because he knows I use them for my spells.

I could list so many other things I'm just very thankful for my dad. Hes going to be 69 in February and I just......life is so short and I think about how I have so little time left with him, it scares me. Hes healthy and all, but hes getting older and that's just terrifying.
