He doesn't know the art of gifting.
In fact, he doesn't understand the importance of birthday gifts and celebrations.
Drove the girl nuts.
Having a glib tongue and whispering sweet nothings are not his specialty.
"Why say them if you don't mean it?"
Made the girl sigh at the lack of verbal affection.
Cuddles and hugs are never in public because there isn't a need to display these affections in public.
The girl just looked on with envy. Sometimes.
Fast forward a few years, this man became another man in front of another girl.
He still did not believe in giving presents, but he gifted her time and presence.
He gifted her the love of reading.
He gives her new experiences, and the opportunity to widen her horizons.
He made her feel safe each time she embarks on a little adventure or exploration.
He was always there when she needed him.
And he wasn't stingy with hugs and kisses.
He is her hero.
He is her king.
What this girl doesn't know is that for her, he would do anything to make sure he becomes a better man.
For her, he was willing to make changes and work on whatever was lacking.
Made his old girl cry secret tears of gratitude.
To this not-so-wonderful-boyfriend but extremely-wonderful-daddy,
Happy Daddy's Day.
