Shellyville Continues

Restless

Hello Sunshine,

Happy Father's Day!

I hope all the dad's are getting spoiled today. It's not an easy job being a dad so I hope you are getting appreciated. Lord knows, I appreciate my Father!

I am in a restless state of mind. Missing him and knowing he would be so proud of me. Amazed at my changes and still he would be proud of my good heart.

My dad was my biggest fan. My greatest love. He treated me so differently. It was hard to ignore that he loved me. It wasn't so much his words. It was his actions. It was the way he invited me with him. He always wanted me around. He liked to have me hang out with him. Even if he was going over to his buddies house or to the store or a football game.

It never mattered what we did just as long as we hung out and talked. I think it is so funny now that we talked about my siblings. He would wonder why they were acting a certain way and we would try to figure it out. I think I was my dad's therapist a long long time ago and I never knew it. Holy cow that is just striking me right now. I guess I have been "in training" my whole life.

My dad was my greatest teacher and I can't believe how much I am missing him. I never want to stop being the student. I always want to learn more. About me and about everybody.

Our father's give us the foundation and we have to walk it.

Love,
Michelle
