Real Spill: I wished my dad would have told me this

It’s something having a father. He’s like your superhero.

You rubbed my bike falls with camphophenique.

Taught me about boys. What to watch out for.

The consequences of not keeping my legs closed.

You told me, no one else in this world outside of he and mom, loved me unconditionally.

And when your first grand baby was a baby, you’d always be there for me.

When his parents perished, as a kid, he made it look so easy.

Now grown, I realize looks are deceiving.

It’s been a tough twelve years since he’s passed.

At 43 still needing your guidance.

Out of everything, I wish he would’ve told me, how tough it is to lose a parent.
