First of all I want to say Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope that you were fortunate enough to spend time with your loved ones today. I know that days like this can be extremely difficult for some people and that is understandable. I know God is there for you today and always, no matter what. If you do nothing else, at least give thanks the man above for breathing air into our lungs and giving us life.
Today has been a rushed day for my sister and I. First, we wanted to surprise my husband with his Father's Day gift, so we insisted that he go take a shower. His new commercial grill was on its way to be delivered at our home and we did not want him to hear it coming. Long story short, he did not hear the delivery truck and we surprised him with his new grill! Well, than my parents come over and we have a cook out for my dad for fathers day and for his birthday. As we are sitting there eating together, my sister decides that she wants to tell a "funny" story about me making my husband get in the shower and how I told him to get naked! OMG!!! I was so embarrassed and I almost choked on a piece of steak. My mom was laughing and told my husband that he must have thought we were crazy. I looked over at my dad and he had a blank expression on his face. It was one awkward moment for me. I could have just knocked my sister out! Oh, and we were speaking in Spanish, so my husband had no idea what the conversation was about and I was not going to translate it back to him in front of my dad.
There are a number of things that I do NOT do in the presence of my dad. One of those things is showing any public display of affection towards my husband and I DON'T tell him about any intimate details of my marriage. Thank goodness my dad changed the subject; he asked my mom if she wanted a hot pepper! HAHA
Many of you may not understand why I was embarrassed, but the truth of the matter is, in my dad's eyes I am still a ten year old girl that he knew a long time ago that did not like to brush her hair or shower. Now, I am a mother and a wife. It is very difficult for a father to watch their child grow up into an adult, especially their daughters. I can do nothing wrong and if I do, my father wishes not to see it. I'm still daddy's little girl and I like that.
Thank goodness my husband understands and I'm sure many of you do too.
Finally, we sang happy birthday to my dad, ate cake and I went on my way to work.
I just wanted to share a little story. All's well that ends well.
Happy Father's Day again!
