My dad and me. Stepping out of my comfort zone to tell him he's my hero.

Well the first part to this story is the part about stepping out of my comfort zone just to add to this blog! (Much laughter). SO i guess its difficult for me to talk about stepping out of my comfort zone, as well as stepping out of my comfort zone! lol.

This story has to do with my parents, i'm almost tearing up already. All growing up for some odd reason I never showed my parents the love that they truly deserved. They have shown me nothing but pure and utmost unconditional love. Now, that i've done some emotional clearing, and with my newfound awareness. I know they are the best parents that i could ever ask for.


Its been a rocky road with being nice to my dad because all growing up i noticed i was so much like him but i really wanted to be my own person so i had a hard time showing him love. I now can say that my dad is my hero for never giving up on me and my sister and he is the best dad in the world. Seriously the amount of love that he's given us is truly amazing and he's had to put up with a lot of crap from me and my sister.

Now I tell him I love him whenever I get the chance. I still have to tell him he's my hero and i know i'm going to break down and cry when i do, because as i'm sharing this now, i'm crying. Its not out of guilt it just amazes me how much he loves me. I've never really had this kind of problem with my mom but I've made a vow a while ago to never treat him the way that I used to treat him and always tell him "i love you" at the end of a phone call or just whenever. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and telling him face to face that he's my hero. I'm at school now so I wont see him for another month or so. I think this will help alleviate our rocky past and bring closer to any doubts he might have about our relationship. God bless my dad, he's the true definition of a loving father.
