Childhood Snippets, Day 3 : Papa, Watch Me Fly.

Well, I suppose I should mention my utmost amazing father sometime, right?

My father has been one of my biggest supports throughout the ups and downs of my young life, although, like the typical father/teenage daughter duo, we are not the best at communication 24/7, nor understanding each other.

He has put an effort into taking immense interest in my life and hobbies, protective and kind, without being strict or over-ruling. While he cracks a lot of jokes, I would never once call these jokes "lame" or feel embarrassed to be around him.

We enjoy daddy and daughter days with trips to museums, discussing politics or current world issues, going out to eat, and watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on weeknights.

Although I will marry one day, grow into my womanhood, and he will give me away, walking me down the aisle, my papa was the very first man to have my heart. The memories we have created will always stay with the young part of me, even when it is my turn to take care of him.
