dad

today. i spent the day with my father, my mother was away playing bells, so i woke up and it was just the two of us. i exit my room. and i look into my parents room and there is my dog. sitting in her bed. with reindeer antlers. and i just laugh. she looks so pathetic and ridiculous and adorable. and doesnt seem to mind the antlers my father put on her. but my dad. hearing my laugh says "oh did you see our new reindeer dog?" haha. so silly. i make coffee for both of us. and we discuss his adventures into the realm of french press and which coffee we've discovered, why its good. etc. i need to teach him more about the ins and outs of coffee. but i like the way we just sit and talk, or walk around the house. its all so low key. we go to the mall. to do christmas shopping. neither of us know what to get anyone. but we go anyways. and just wind up talking and sitting and observing. catching up on my life at school, and what's going on at home. how people have changed. it was just so nice and fun. to be with my dad. it was amazing. i forget how much i miss him when i'm away. We dont talk on the phone like my mother and i do. or email. But he is such a kind hearted man. so wise. so intelligent. i very very much enjoy time spent with my father. it makes my heart happy.
