Daddy's Girl

Hey yau'll more on the topic from the previous blog...
I got my thoughts together - lol
Old boys vs men is better language:
old boys - suffer from a lot mainly, arrested development and/or poor or no male influnence. so they will likely tell you that they are a man beciase there are trying or failing in ACTING like a man. Now don't get it twisted this has nothing to be with being gay - a lot of gay men are more manly that those that are ACTING like men. ANd those that are ACTING like men are not always gay....
Next we have men - they don't have find it nessesary to tell you that they are a man. they do the man thing which has nothing to do with being macho or thuggish believe it or not!!! a man is committed to his word and has found a deeper love and level of manhood inside him that he is willing to die for.

[ Now i am not male bashing - so dont come at me like that - because this also is the script for many women (right, right)
Now back to my point...]

i am fortunate to have had a man that was not my biological father come into my life at 3mths old and raise me and i was "his gurl" - and i am still spoil but not rotten as i use to be - lol
his qualities included but were not limited to:
1. going to work FAITHFULLY

2. Came home FATHFULLY with his whole check

3. HAd his own interest and friends that NEVER COMPRIMISED his relationship with his wife and me his daughter.

4. He said what he meant and meant what he said - everytime he open his mouth. HE KEPT HIS WORD IN SHORT ORDER AND LONG TERM (His word meant something - you could count on and depend on his word ALWAYS!) Now he joked and played and had a blast with us - we were always doing something, but when he said things and did things that affected our family he was taken seriously by everyone - the first time he said it.

5. Nothing was to good for his gurls, he would move heaven and hell to keep his word to us and make sure we had things that made us comfortable. His presence made us feel safe at all times.

Now i dont remember ever saying i love you or hearing him say it to me - but he showed it everyday in so many ways.and i hope i did the same - even tho he has been dead for a long time it is well in my soul because i know my daddy loved me!
now i am old school and i remember when people use to say old boy and old girl. I am going to bring that back into my vocabulary. so please recognize when i call someone old boy or old girl - it is not a complement but an acknowlegdement of thier pain and their need to grow into a deeper human being.

i look forward to hearing your thoughts on this one!
