well i forgot the cord to my camera today so i can’t show you pics yet of our fathers day yesterday but it was a great one! Hubs got great gifts…we ate great food…we had a great day. so tomorrow i’ll post some of our pics.

i will say that last week i sent my dad the mother of all letters finally telling him what i thought about a few things he’s been saying/doing lately…and just how i feel about him in general since he is by far the worst example of a father ever. and while i did forgive him for it…i’ve never been able to tell him how some things affected my life. and so i did in this letter. its way too much to go into details about but my favorite part of our conversation saturday morning was the part when he told me that yes he did feel bad about missing our birthdays but that sometimes his girlfriend on the side was more important than us girls.

totally made my day when he said that. what a daughter always wants to hear from her deadbeat dad. i told him he’s lucky i’m strong and that i’ve never depended on him for anything because i can let that roll off my back. my sisters can’t say the same. i’m not telling them that he said that. most people would need therapy for the crap i’ve seen/heard from my dad but that comment right there stung a little more than the others…i guess because he blatantly admitted that we didn’t come first. and what kinda man tells his daughter that?!

so fathers day was a weird one for me this year but i think a better one because of what he said. cuz i appreciate the kinda dad Hubs is to Nettie…i’m so glad she’ll never have to tell Hubs what a crappy dad he was. hearing my dad say that made me love Hubs even more if at all possible. knowing what my mom went through and remember what we went through…and knowing i wont ever have to go what she went through and Nettie wont have to go through what i went through….well it made fathers day awesome for me this year.
