I want a dad

I want a dad I can call dad and not donor number 06111992 I want a dad that’s going to be in my life all the time and not only when it is convenient for him. I want a dad who is not slack, trifling or a habitual liar. I want a dad who keeps his word and never breaks any promises. A dad who always comes through no matter how busy he is. I want a dad who doesn’t put everything before me. One who puts me at the top of his list of priorities.

I want a good dad. I want to be able to say I want to marry somebody just like my father. I want a dad who’s going to be there for all my firsts. My first date, my first job, my first car, my first everything. I want a dad who is going to threaten my first boyfriend if he tries to touch me in the “wrong” way. I want a dad who tells me to “be safe” when I go out with my friends and to “be home by curfew”. I want a dad that makes me feel better when I’m sad and one who wipes the tears away when I’m crying.

I hope my dad comes to my graduation. I want him to be there cheering me on because I have finally finished high school. I want my dad to say “That’s my baby girl” as I walk across the stage to get my diploma. I want my dad to help my mom plan the best graduation party ever. I want my dad to pull some strings and get one of his famous friends to perform at my party.

I want my dad to give my boyfriend “permission” to marry me. I would love to have my dad walk me down the aisle when I get married. I want a dad who cries when he sees how beautiful I am in my white wedding dress. I want a dad who’s going to dance with me during the father daughter dance. I want my dad to get along with my mother so there will be no drama between families on my special day.

I want my dad to be there to see his grandson or daughter wearing an “I love my Papa” shirt. I want my dad to see me raise my kids and see me go through the struggles he had to go through with me.

I wish my dad was in my life as much as I wanted him too. I wish my dad was more involved. I want my dad to see me grow up. I want him to see what kind of woman I turn into. I want my dad to care as much as I care. I want to hear my dad say “I love you” and I want to believe it. I don’t want there to be any doubts. I don’t want money, shoes, or clothes I just want my daddy.
