Rough but dad's the best

Why does God create people who are so difficult. My one big mistake... I keep myself to myself. And that in itself should avoid trouble, this time it landed me into even deeper trouble. Not that it affects me, a good row really gets the metabolism going. I am still shaking though, not seething anymore, I got my merits and the nasty one punished. Good, he actually thought he was going to scare me, oh no, it takes a lot to scare me nowadays. Looking to have a row from the word go, well he got it now. And also a row which left him shame-faced, I'm so happy it couldn't be better. Thursday 30th. May, and that's the last I'll ever be going to Valletta. Good thing, very good thing. I have been dreading Thursdays for a whole year, now I don't have to go anymore. The day was rough, from the word go, although I thought it would be anyway. Having to deal with one big asshole every Thursday has not been easy. Probably I've been staying put for too long, and now it's over. What a row, havn't had a row like that in ages, that really got all the anger My poor dad, on the eve of his retirement, well my old man really loves me and will defend me if he knows I'm right. Good old daddy, although he can still pass as 40. I love him so much. Had the first retirement lunch, and the staff were cheering him and I cried. He has done so much for me, I could never ever wish for a better dad. I pray he's still around when he's 90, he's such a darling. And I am so proud of him. Tomorrow will be another surprise festivity for him. He'll be in heaven. I got him a lovely cake, the staff have done the rest, I cannot wait to see his face. I've given him a lot of joy in my childhood, but now too much worry as an adult. Not on purpose. I'd love to have a worry-free life, but it hasn't turned out this way. My dad is a star, really in the very sense of it. Shit what a nice man my mum got herself. True she was a looker, but really she has been very very lucky. Not many like the likes of him around anymore. Anyway, tomorrow will be a better day, very exciting. This photo shows my dad and us when we were kids, always a present father, never a distant one. And I'll always be daddy's girl. Love you dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
