What I find striking is the disparity between the traits and actions that come so naturally to my dad, versus what the generation of guys I’m dating seem completely unable to do, such as arranging a date without ghosting/flaking, planning ahead or just being able to straight-talk about things. I also seem to think differently from most people, so im not interested in most social fads (twitter, instagram etc, ), i have a completely different sense of humour from most people and i hate public events and crowds.
As a builder, he’s practical enough to change a fuse with his eyes shut, but also smart enough to know how to invest money, talk world politics and spark conversation with anyone, irrespective of class. I dont have any friends from childhood because coming from an airforce family i was at a different school every two years. He knows Im bisexual but I dont want to tell him I want to be with a girl instead of him because hes so caring and nice.
We’re very close, but he also has what I consider sterling attributes: he’s reliable, solid, dependable, kind and funny. ‘To me, my dad is basically the best man there is. Jennifer, 35, was single for most of her twenties because she found it hard to meet a man who could measure up to her father. From the hardest personal struggles I've ever faced, to pursing things out of my comfort zone, such as writing here on Odyssey, you've always been my cheerleader.Recent studies have shown that a daughter who has a secure, supportive, communicative relationship with her father is the most likely to create and maintain emotionally fulfilling relationships with men in later life.** But even having a great relationship with your dad doesn’t always make dating easy. You've always supported me in everything I've ever done and gone through. If I have kids, I can only hope I make them feel as loved as you make your children feel. And for that, I hope you know I will be forever grateful. You have never, EVER, made me feel bad about any aspect of who I am or how I look.
im 14 years old.never had sex, never even had my first kiss. Your still in your early teens, and boys can be very stupid and immature. I didnt regret it for a while, but now I am 17 and I do. You are so loved by not just me, but so many other people. I was young and stupid, and if I could change it I would. I truly think you're an angel that God sent from heaven to help everyone you come in contact with. You taught me that kindness and how you treat people will always be the most important thing. Through my years as an athlete, you were at every practice and game you could be, which was almost all of them! How?! Thanks for being my number one fan. You buy me little, and big, things just because you think of me when you see them or you know I need it, even when I don't ask for them. Looking back on the many years of stressful schoolwork and heartaches, I would not have made it through the hard times, the confusing times, or even the happy times without you by my side pushing me into the right direction as always.Įven through financial struggles our family went through growing up, you made sure my sister and I had everything we ever needed. Even with the weight of the world on your shoulders, I will always appreciate how encouraging and supportive you are throughout anything I come up with or choose to pursue. You're the glue that holds us together, the foundation to the beautiful life you have built. All that you do not only for me but for our family also. On Mothers Day, and on every other day of the year, I want you to know how much I appreciate you. For allowing me to be there for you when you have a weak moment as much as it breaks my heart to see. It could be that your past relationships are haunting your current one, or you are still working on trusting a partner you forgave for lying. Some people are jealous in general and it becomes ingrained in every part of their lives. Perhaps it’s another situation altogether. For being brutally honest with me even if it hurt my feelings. Why am I so jealous Maybe something we have said already rings a bell with you. For listening to me vent for hours and cry on your shoulder when life doesn't make sense. As your best friend, I thank you for being there for me and being my eyes when I can’t see things clearly. For teaching me everything that school never did. For giving me the tools I need to become an unbelievable Mother one day just like you. As your daughter, I thank you for being my mentor and for setting an amazing example for me every day.
