| The assignment is "Daddy's Girl". When I first saw the title I got alot of mixed emotions and anger was one of them. I thought 'how could I write about someone who was never there for me or didn't even care about me'. Then I realized he is not a daddy to me why would I give him the credit on "Fathers Day!". So I decided to write about someone who is a father and a great one at that. He's my boyfriend! Our son has been the only child for 4.5 years before we had our daughter Halia. It took awhile for us to even think about trying to concieve. When we decided to start trying again we concieved right away. My boyfriend Kimo was there for me through the mid-night bathroom trips to holding my hair back when I was very sick. He was also very supportive when I quit smoking. When we went in for our 3rd ultrasound the tech told us we would be expecting a girl. Kimo was so happy. He said he would be happy with whatever sex the baby would be but I know there is nothing like "Daddy's Girl". I on the other hand didn't think I was having a girl so I pretty much expected a boy. After I gave birth to Halia kimo cried. He cried with our son but I know he cried just a bit more for our daughter. Since he found out we were having a girl he couldn't wait til she came. When she finally did he never left her side. She is only 7 months old but she is very much daddy's little girl. He gets really hurt when halia wants to come to me instead of him. I try to let him know that halia is very attached to me because I breastfeed and that i'm always at home with her when he's working. It does take awhile for kimo to leave to go to work in the morning. Halia screams for her daddy and kimo goes to work late just so he can be sure she is occupied before he leaves for work. I don't know what the future will hold for us when the children get older. I can only hope that kimo and halia's bond grows stronger. He says that she will not be dating til she is 40....but what father doesn't say that??? :) |
