All-American Girl

I was listening to a song today called "All-American Girl" by Carrie Underwood. (OK side thought: I was reading everyone elses blogs, and I feel inferior compared to them. Especially one in particular which was very profound and insightful... Jeez, I feel really juvenile compared to them.) Anyway, so as I listened to it I realized that it sounded like my life. It's about a father who wants a little boy but his wife has a little girl. He's disappointed because he can longer have the boy do the things he wanted him to do... i.e. sports. But then, the father became so attached to the little girl that she became wrapped around his finger, she was the center of his whole world. I know that my daddy already had my brother before I was born, but I can't help but wonder if he wanted another boy to do the same things my brother was doing... i.e. playing sports, fishing, hunting, etc. But then, I came along and even though he may not have particularly wanted a girl, he became wrapped around my finger. I am a daddy's girl and I love it. We are so close and I can call him anytime of the day and I just love to hear his voice. If I lost my daddy, I would be so afraid and shattered like a window falling to the ground from a 10 story building. Songs are what I relate to and I love this song...



Another random note, but it does kind of pertain to what I was talking about, is that my dad and I have great communication skills. When I was younger, he was always right and I was always wrong and that was that. We didn't argue and even though I tried to get my way, he never let me. But as I have gotten older, I have realized that our relationship and communication skills have changed. We are able to talk to each other and then make decisions. I guess that comes with growing up, but I feel like we just know what each other is thinking all the time. I know when he's upset and he automatically knows when I'm upset. We sit down and talk, or I do most of the talking actually, and then he gives me his honest advice and opinion. I value our relationship and I will gladly be a daddy's girl any day!
