Life without a dad

Life without a father is hard. Some folks will say it can be hard, but I tell you from experience it is hard.

Life without a father is hard some friends will tell you of the new that and new this their father got for them, thats okay and sweet. I would not be too sad if it were just gifts they got, but there is more they have that man that will always be there for them come rain come shine. They don't have to stress too hard, they still get pocket money even at 25, wow that is awesome! They call daddy to tell him of the new bloke in the block, they giggle at each others joke. They have someone who has their back when mama says otherwise, how delightful?

You tell your dad you need to change your hair and basinga he is to the rescue. You tell your dad you want the latest samsung phone and thats it, you have it by dinner. You have that man that sits on the King's seat during meals on the dining table.  You are always going to be his little girl and on your big day he walks you down the aisle. Oh what joy it is to have a father!

You have your daddy, I don't have mine. I lost my dad before I even had him. I wish my daddy was here. I will stay up to make dinner for him, I will tell him every tiny detail about my day. I will also tell him how boys get so naughty this days and seldom respect a lady. I will tell him everything and anything. I will ask for his love over and over again and love him endlessly too. I wish he just stayed a little longer just a little longer. Daddy passed when I was 8. I have lived without his calls, messages, love and life for almost 13 years. If I had my daddy, things will completely different.

I have lost the feeling of having a dad. What does it feel like? How does it feel like? I never said this out loud until now I want a daddy can I get one? All I want is a daddy.
