one day of the year, just like mother's day, is dedicated solely for the father's of this world. i couldn't have gotten a better papa. there is no way i could have drawn him up any better than the way our good Lord made him. for the first time, i missed father's day this year...thanks to this massive state of Texas i live in and the amount of space between houston and bama. i did have to work on sunday and i did get to take care of a few dads and wish them a happy father's day as they spent the day with me and the rest of the trauma team.
it's pretty cliche to say how much you have learned from your papa and your mama. but, when i say it, it doesn't feel cliche. it feels genuine. the wisdom i get from my parents every time i talk to them is indescribable. he has stood by me in everything that i have done and given me all the tools that i need to succeed in my life and in every decision that i make.
there are so many times when we get frustrated or fed up with some of the things that our parents ask us to do or put us through, but somehow, there always ends up being a reason for the things they do. moving to texas has given me a new sense of respect and love for my parents and my family. i miss them all every day and each time i fly back from bama, i start planning my next trip to head back to see them. happy father's day papa, can't wait to see you.
