never comes
lately i have been thinking about my daddy. daddy and i work together. he teaches at the school where i teach. he's been teaching math at the same school for 29 years. he taught me in high school.
this man is the most wonderful man that i know. he is strong and quiet. he is unbelievably smart, and inconceivably witty. he doesn't mind being the brunt of sarcasm, but you had better watch out, because he will whip that joke around on you faster than you could ever imagine. and the funny thing is -- you might not even realize it until after everyone else around starts laughing.
he is the most brilliant man that i know. he is the kindest man that i know. he is the epitome of a good father, husband and friend. he is a hard worker. he is genuinely a good person. he does not get upset easily -- i doubt i know anyone more even tempered than him.
i have a friend, a very dear friend, who lost a parent not too long ago� he had the same kind of relationship with his mother that i do with my father. and i will never be able to understand how he has dealt so well with losing her.
because if i ever lose my father, i don't know if i will be able to handle it. i know i will have to -- for janie -- but i do know that it will possibly be the hardest thing i will ever have to endure in my life.
and i hope that day never, ever comes.
xoxo
tell me i'm beautiful...
