Love you...Dad
At age 8, your dad buys you an ice cream. You thanked him by
dripping it all over your lap.
When you were 9 years old, he paid for piano lessons. You
thanked
him by never even bothering to practice.
When you were 10 years old he drove
you all day, from soccer to
football to one birthday party after another. You thanked
him by jumping out of the car and never looking back.
When you were 11 years old, he took you and your friends to
the
movies. You thanked him by asking to sit in a different row.
When you were 12 years old, he warned you not to watch
certain TV
shows. You thanked him by waiting until he left the house.
When you were 13, he suggested a haircut that was becoming.
You
thanked him by telling him he had no taste.
When you were 14, he paid for a month away at summer camp.
You
thanked him by forgetting to write a single letter.
When you were 15, he came home from work, looking for a hug.
You
thanked
him by having your bedroom door
locked.
When you were 16, he taught you how to drive his car. You
thanked
him by taking it every chance you could.
When you were 17, he was expecting an important call. You
thanked
him by being on the phone all night.
When you were 18, he cried at your high school graduation.
You
thanked him by staying out partying until dawn.
When you were 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove
you
to
campus carried your bags. You thanked him by saying good-bye
outside
the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your
friends.
When you were 25, he helped to pay for your wedding, and he
cried
and told you how deep he loved you. You thanked him by
moving
halfway across the
country.
When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of
him
u thanked him by reading about the burden parents become
to
their
children.
And then, one day, he quietly died. And everything
you
never did came crashing down like thunder on YOUR HEART. If
you love
your dad, then share it with all of your friends to show that you really care for your Dad.
