Okay so i remember the day my father taught me how to ride a bike, i had a white bike with pink and purple designs, and im pretty sure it had those plastic things that made noise when you rode on the spokes. I remember starting off by the driveway multiple times him holding the back of my seat, and me shaking like a leaf,falling down, getting upset, and my father telling me to get back on lub your doing great,So i kept trying, getting vidually upset i couldnt do it, but i kept trying, finally my father said too me, just do it, just get on an pedal, dont stop pedalling, so i got on the bike and pedalled away, and rode farther away than any other time, when i fell i got back on and did it again, and each sequentiall time, i got better and better, and my father, stood there with the biggest smile on his face.
Another memory i have with my father is that, we were all sitting on the portch my mom, my little brother who at the time was about 4, and me. My mom was wearing yellow shorts and her knees were full of mud(she had been gardening, one of her favorite things to do) My father most likely out there playing his guitar,and helping my mother, they loved spending spending days outside. I was drinking a ginger ale, my father a beer. we were sitting right next to each other, i reached for my ginger ale, took a sip, and damn near puked, most digusting thing i ever had in my life, I took a sip of my fathers beer, we laughed, but i do not drink beer now, for thought that it was supposed to be gigner ale, and was not.
My father once built me a bookshelf, with left over wood from a job, a heavy mahogany, he spent about two hours building me this bookshelf, the sound of the saw, him wiggling his hat against his brow to make it sit more comfortably on his head in the hot summer sun.After he got done building it, he painted it with a stain, that we had left over in the shed, from another unknown project. i have that bookshelf today, and it sits in the livingroom of my new rental, that my father, never got too see.
Daddy, i miss you <3
