A picture of the person who has got you through the most.
And by getting me through the most I mean pushing me and pissing me off and making me a fighter so that I dont give up. Of course most of those fights I ended up getting into were with him. I dont know how many times he got mad at me because I didnt come home until way too late and we would get into a screaming match. I wasnt out doing stupid things, I wasnt out drinking, I just have a bad habit of getting into a conversation or a book or a movie or whatever and forgetting what time it is, and an even worse habit of taking a couple hours to say good bye to a person. Which means hes sitting up all night get more and more pissed off.
He is the second youngest of atleast 6 if not 7 children, and the only son. So you would think by now he would be used to or at least understand the way that the female mind works. How moody and distracted we can get. But no, he has a limit just like everyone else and I think growing up It was fun to test those limits because I could, and for a while he would let me.
If the old guy wasnt working his butt off, up until just a couple years ago when the COPD got to be so bad that he was in the hospital more than he was home he worked every day he could since the age of aprox 15. I get that from him. Ive always worked, with the exception of 2 streches where either being pregnant and married to a retard prevented me or just no one was hirering. But that happens to all of us.
He loves his grand babies, he wasnt happy when he found out I was pregnant and Sabryns sperm donor wasnt sticking around, he definetly wasnt happy when Marty told us she was pregnant, after waiting until she was clost to 6 months along. And Im sure he was pissed when he found out Marty was due again with Landen. But he loves them all, and as creepy as it may sound he was there when Kailynne was born, I mean where else was he gonna go, that was the best damn birthday party he ever had. Kailynne will be there first to tell you that she and her papa have the same birthday!
Ive been worried about him dying now for close to 3 years. But hes stubborn and just keeps kicking around, crochety, stubborn, mumbling about how no one ever listens to him about stupid things like calling my sister 100 times in one day just to make sure she paid the electric bill, a bill she had paid the day before. But no one ever listens to him. One of these days Im sure Im going to get a phone call from my mom saying dad didnt wake up this morning. Im sure, I have nightmares about it, but hopefully it will be after Aaron asks me to marry him.. which means dad better hang on for a long time, since Aarons even more stubborn, and I dont see a ring any time soon.
