Daddybear

It's Fathers Day!

So I'm going to tell you about Daddybear.

I am a very fortunate woman, the father of my child is a great guy and a truly wonderful father.
He gets his little girl. I mean he really gets her, he understands her and he loves her more than he loves himself.

Daddybear is a good man.

Smart, Capable, Funny, Loving and Decent to everyone.

He's the kind of guy who stops and picks up the box of abandoned puppies off the side of the road.
Fixes his friends stuff, just because he can.
Wakes up early and brings his wife a coffee in bed.
Steps up and volunteers for his community.
Uses his vacation time to cover school holidays and have Daddy Daughter Days.
The man is a giant in my estimation, and not just because he's six foot three.

He works hard, plays hard and loves with his whole heart, but he's not loud about it.

He is a hard man to get to know, much like our daughter he isn't into loud places or crowded spaces.
He doesn't require outside validation and he's quite happy to be a hermit all winter. He's totally satisfied with his small group of friends and the millions he can debate with online. He prefers to host at home where he is comfortable rather than go out. Which suits Tiger just fine.

In fact Daddybear believes with his whole heart that Tigerlily is just like him, and that she will be absolutely fine.  He thinks that he might also be HFA and I admit that there are a lot of similarities between them, the rituals and routines, sensitivities etc.,  but he says regardless of how he feels or what else is happening, if there's work to be done, he'll Git R Dun! ( He loves Blue Collar Radio).

All I know is, if Tiger grows up to be anything like her Daddybear the world will be better for it.


Happy Father's Day to all the Daddybears out there.

Especially Ours
