It's hard sometimes and there is regularly much short-term pain for long-term gain. But it's the best way in the long run.Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928500115053023566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931377820241721982.post-57102759027122939722009-06-21T09:26:11.199-07:002009-06-21T09:26:11.199-07:00How well I understand this!

I had that kind of relationship with my grandfather. <br /><br />It is also that same feeling that I have with Daddy - older, wiser, his words filled with intent, and confidence. Just brings out the submissive right out in me, before I even realize it. <br /><br />All my friends are amazed at the way I follow him around like a love-sick pup. Me, an outspoken, well-educated divorce attorney, seeing to his every need, and loving it! I just tell them all that I'm head over heels in love with him, or twitter-pated as I call it. <br /><br />If they only knew the power he holds over me so easily..... *smiles*<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this sweet story. Makes me miss my grandfather who's been gone 30 years now.cutesypahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954055832006760974noreply@blogger.com
