My dad, my HERO!!!

My dad is my biggest hero. I wish I could help him with what he's dealing with, but I can't, and I don't know where to start if I could. He has chosen not to let any of us in and that hurts more than anything. About 4 years ago, he was there for me when I told him that I was pregnant, whether he liked it or not, it was happening and there was nothing any of us could do about it. He stuck by my side when my mother would not. She chose to deal with it her own way, and that was to shut me out of her life and yell at me everyday!!!! He was there for me, cried with me, and talked to me. Made me feel his love. The closer Brooke became to coming into this world the more excited he got. He watched me change from a young girl, to a mature mother-to-be. He was there every step of the way, and I love him more than ever for being there for me during such a hard time in my life. He made me realize that even if Brooke's father wasn't there for her, he would never stop loving me or her. He cried the moment he first layed eyes on her and I knew he never quit loving me at that moment, and that all the crap we had been through together had paid off. He has been everything to her. They are inseperable. They get into so much trouble when they are together and I can't imagine having to tell her someday that her grandpa is gone and someday she'll see him again. I hope that day doesn't come anytime soon. When he goes you're going to have to bury me right along side him. He's the only thing I have left short of Brooke, and Joe. He is my life, my world, and the only dad I have, the only thing I have left to live for besides Brooke. We spent the first 18 years of my life doing stuff, from the time I was eight until I was eighteen we raised and bred the pigs together. From the time I was young until we got the pigs, we went camping and fishing together. That was our time together. Now we work on the roof and do things with Brooke together and that makes me happier than anything. I have helped my dad do 1/2 of the roof and although we may not have much to say to one another during that time, except little joking things, the time spent with him is time I can never get back. It's amazing. I LOVE HIM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF. He is my hero, my dad, and the love of my life. I could never love another man more than I love my dad!!!!

Thanks dad for being my HERO!!!
