My Sweets!! |
Denis had to work Sat. night so that left me to get my girl ready for her second game on Sunday. This really isn't a big deal for me, but my girl was completely out of sorts all morning up until she saw her dad at the game Sunday. They have this unspoken understanding of what needs to be done to get ready for the next big game. They talk soccer, not the kind of soccer talk you would expect between a twelve year old and her dad, they talk international soccer, who is playing, what the scores where and who performed well and if they have time to watch some soccer on TV well that is even better. He makes sure her shoes are tied right and that she is stretched and ready to go. My role in all of this is to just make sure she is getting food in her body, so I fuel the engine. This is important but it doesn't help with the emotional prepping of the day. Denis was missed Sunday morning and she was quiet up until she saw him. When we arrived to the field for the big game she always puts her shoes on before she gets to the field so when she wasn't doing this I asked her if she wanted to put her shoes on first and she said when she sees her dad.
I know he knows he is needed for all the little things he does but I don't think he truely understands what he means to us. So thank you Denis for rushing home from work with arms open and ears ready to listen to all the details of the day. Thank you for always thinking of the little details, creating fun events and understanding that a girl sometimes just needs to talk and doesn't always need things to be fixed. You are the core of all things wonderful when it comes to this family. We love you!!
