A story for love thursday
As you are reading this, I am on my way to Blogher… and no doubt feeling pretty nervous, but very excited.
While I’m away, I thought I would share with you a story about my dad, as it’s Love Thursday and everything.
Since I was about 10 I’ve lived away from my dad, and although I have always felt his presence in my life, I always miss him, and now when I see dads with their daughters it makes me smile – I think that it’s a relationship that is special to me because it allows me to reminisce about the times with my dad.
Anyway, when I was a little girl, I think we were asked to build a circuit or something like that, and I had no idea what to do so I told my dad and he said that he would help me. My dad is a bit of a perfectionist – something I only realized in adulthood – so after about 2 hours I got really bored and left his side… The next morning when I got up, I was completely astonished to find that my dad had built an entire house with working lights!!
Now, as much as I was impressed with his dedication to my simple circuit, there was no possible way that I was toting that thing to school! I envisioned walking into my class with this huge house and decided that the embarrassment would be way to much to handle. And so, sadly, I left the house that my dad spent an entire night working on for me. Yes, I regret it to this day, but it made an excellent doll house, and all my cousins were really jealous of it!
