I'll miss you dad!

When I was 4-5 years old I would always sit next to him and he was my best  friend  since I was little. But when I was 4 years old I never liked to leave his side because I loved to play with him and I would always try to beat him at arm wrestling because I always thought I was stronger then him.

Love you're little girl!

Daddy daughter time

October 21, 2019
I remember when I was 4-6 years old my father turned music on it was Sam Smith I'm not the only one. He held out his hand to me and asked "come on let's dance" I said " I dont know how" " I'll teach you" then I grabbed his hand and I got on his feet and we started to dance. When the music stopped I got on the couch and was embarrassed, the next day I believe he asked me again and I refused bc I wanted to play outside. He laughed and I went outside. I do regret refusing him over ten times during my life time but I'll always love you father
