Personal Narrative: My Loving Daddy

Improved Essays
Prologue

My Loving Daddy,
How swiftly do the days fly when you have a baby to take care of! I wish I could have written sooner but your grandson has been quite the demanding little calf. He just has that determined glint in his eyes that I find all too familiar. I've seen that same look on your face so often as a child when my behavior went out of line. In a way, this eases the ache of being away from you since it's such a piece of my childhood, of home.
I miss you, Daddy, more than words can express. I am incredibly happy in Markleeville with David and our precious Denver but a part of my heart will always be with you. I do hope that you have been well. On this note, I have a strange request to ask of you. Please write back and tell me

    I was all packed and ready to set off on my 10 day adventure to H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation but all that's in my way is about 12 hours and 9 of them I’m going restless because I’m so excited and I keep my dad up by asking him questions but when I have an important one he’s gone “MOM wheres Dad.” I said “he’s seeing his mom,” with a couple of tears running down her face “ It will probably going to be the last time he sees her” and I remember that she is in the hospital. It has been about 5 ½ months since she has been diagnosed with glioblastoma.…

    As I was observing the relationship between the client and his daughter, it made me recall feelings of my relationship with my father. I found myself creating biases to form connections. Through this experience, I realized that I need to learn specific language skills for counselling in Punjabi as well as learn ways of appropriately showing an understanding without the focus on self-involvement. I also found learning about PTSD in older adults and the effective interventions used, such as CBT very useful for future practices. It is important for workers to acknowledge beliefs and to be sensitive to age-specific issues (Clapp & Beck, 2012).…

    Waking up every morning wishing for a good morning kiss from my father just like the novelas on T.V was everything I always wanted. I was only six years old and had grown up not knowing who my father was. Unlike other kids at my school who always talked about their father playing with them, I was not able to talk about my dad. Celebrating birthdays and wishing my father was there to sing or even blow the candle with me was just a fantasy in my mind. I was young girl growing up a bit bitter because I thought life was not how a little girl would imagine.…

    A decent father conveys affection to his kids. The father's affection proceeds from his youngster's introduction to the world until death. I can feel my dad's adoration up to this point.

    Dear Pápa, You inspire me tremendously, you're my idol and I look up to you. You're a great hard working pápa with beautiful green eyes that I'm extremely jealous of. I love how you're so fun loving and that you correct me in my life by giving me advice that I can always use in my daily life. Not only that but you encourage me to try new things like going out for dance in the third grade because you knew how much performing in front of an audience means to me.…

    My Papa Bill was by far the orneriest and outspoken man i've ever met, he was my best friend and my papa and not a day goes by that i don’t think about him. He passed away December 24th of 2013, three years ago on Christmas Eve. He was in the hospital a week before we had to make the heartbreaking decision to take him off life support because we knew he didn’t want to live off machines. He had been in the hospital many times so i never would've thought that this would be my last time seeing him. The day before he passed away he was considered brain dead, my parents, sister and I all went in to talk to him to say our goodbyes and when we left, all crying messes, the doctor told us he had a brain wave while we were in the room, i thought in that moment everything would be okay and that by telling him i loved him, he was gonna come back to us and call me a “boner” once again.…

    The Trip to the Grocery Store I haven’t seen him in weeks or maybe even months, I thought as I glared across the small distance between where I was standing and my dad’s car. With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…

    I decided to write about my relationship with my dad in this post because Father’s Day just passed and because I’ve already made a post about the incredible bond I have with my dad. In that post I mentioned that he was away in Korea when I was born and I didn’t get to see him until I was 7 months old. My mother, who was only 22 at the time, had a lot of responsibility taking care of the three of us who were all under 3 years old. When my dad came home he took over the caregiving duties for me completely because he wanted to make sure he bonded with me. There was a solid attachment built between the two of us at that time that has been tested over time but never frayed.…
