Daddy’s girl – It’s Shaun’s World

Earlier, I shared the results from a love language quiz I took a couple of years ago, and I revealed that my primary love language is Quality Time. Well, today, unexpectedly, my dad asked if I would help him with a project. Something he rarely does. So, I got some quality time in with him. AND… he threw in a few words of affirmation. Didn’t even know I needed both. But God did. Smiling.

In my second post, I wrote, “When God shows up, He always shows out.” Hmmm… very few will get this, but the job we worked on (he makes headstones and monuments) required me to learn how to use a design software that I had never used before. Y’all, I’m still on cloud 9. Been watching YouTube videos on all of its features for almost an hour now. When I tell you God knows exactly how to bless me. He forever amazes me.

Just had to share my testimony—how God tends to work in my life. Y’all, I am beyond blessed, for real. I try not to take moments like this for granted.

I pray you had a great day. Wishing you a good night.♥️

Today is my daddy’s birthday!

Although I cannot be with him today, I can’t wait to call him. Y’all, I love my daddy!

Several blogs ago, I touched on relationships between Black fathers in their children’s lives. In that specific blog I was referring to an episode of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne. The characters, Miranda and Calvin, were discussing Calvin’s relationship with their son Christian. Miranda had found a job opportunity about 800 miles away. Calvin did not want her to take it because he wouldn’t get to see Christian as often. Well, I didn’t see a problem with it because for most of my childhood I lived over 800 miles away from my dad.

With that said, there were times I wondered what it would feel like to live with him. Well, I kinda got my wish when I stayed with my great great grandmother during my 4th and 5th grade years of school. I finally got to see him almost daily. Sadly, whenever I did stay at his house, I barely spent time with him and neither did my siblings who actually lived with him. Y’all, my dad is a workaholic! To this day, he still works seven days a week. He wakes up and goes to bed thinking about work. Several years ago, he suffered two strokes which slowed him down, but he never stopped working. Honestly, I believe working keeps him alive.

I really do wish I could spend time with him today. Might drop in on him this weekend. Over the years I have learned to cherish the few hours I have with him at home or go to work with him. I think I might just go to work with him since he is the one being celebrated. Y’all should see his smiles whenever I decide to hang out with him at work. He just be cheesing. Yeah… I think that’s what I’ll do.

Hope y’all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Be Blessed♥️
