Unconditionally

Well then!! I'm doin' it, i'm really doin' it! This blogging thing. hahaa. Anyways, today is just a regular old tuesday. I'm watching my sweet sweet niece Mara. She's 2 years old, and i've been watching her since she was 3 months. I've seen her grow and change and learn! That will be coming to an end soon, and i'm afraid for that day to come! I will be so sad. But anyways the main point of my entry..Today is also my sweet Dad's birthday! Turning 58 today! And it really got me to thinking how soo very very blessed I am! To have him not only in my life, but as my Dad. As that steady rock in my life. I feel so lucky to have someone so amazing as my "basis for comparison", if you will. Having him to learn from, and see first-hand just how a woman should be treated day to day. What my (and every other woman's) expectations SHOULD be from a man and a husband. He gave me the strength (without even knowing it) to strive and be patient enough to wait for that someone that stood up to those expectations. Soo many people don't have hope or an ounce of faith in a lasting love because they don't SEE it nearly enough. And I have been SURROUNDED by it my whole life. How amazing is that?? He is there when I need him, and if ever i'm feeling down or fed up, he knows just what to say. I honestly do not know what I would do without him! That is a love that could never possibly be replaced. <3
