Tonight I cancelled plans with a friend. That's out of character for me but after the emotional week that I have had seeing Daddy made me change my evening. Last week old feelings of rejection came bubbling up, tearing open old wounds so I needed this night. Feelings that left me feeling weak and small, unwanted, not loved and a bother. This night, a night sitting next to my Daddy, with his fingers lightly resting on my shoulder, as we, as a family, talked about the President we love, our faith, and war. To be surrounded with laughing children, smiling faces, and the nearness of a man who chose me for a daughter, who loves me just as I am. A daddy that would drive to the ends of the earth for me.
