1. He would wake you up early.

Whether it be to go mushroom hunting or get up to go to work with him.

2. You would wrestle with him and your brothers.

And it didn’t stop until someone was bleeding or crying.

3. He started teaching you how to drive at much earlier than your sisters.

Your sisters started in their teens while you started at like 5 or 6 on his lap steering the wheel of his truck.

4. He gave you a nickname that could be a name for a boy.

Because the name him and your mom picked was too much of a girl name that he just had to adjust it a little.

5. You would watch sports with him and your brothers.

And sometimes you would cheer for the other team just because you wanted to show that you had balls even though you technically didn’t since you’re well a girl.

6. You did not cry in front of him unless you were bleeding or something was broken.

If you cried around him about anything else he would be completely confused and grumble something while he walked away.

7. You work your ass off, and don’t complain to him about it.

If you did complain to him about how much you worked, he would then tell you something along the line of “being an adult sucks”.

8. He taught you to be independent.

You and your mom relied on him so much throughout his life that he wanted to teach you that you are strong enough not to.

9. You loved getting dirty from rolling around in his truck.

Or just getting dirty in the mud.

10. You would always be bare foot going anywhere with him.

He was in too much of a rush to try and find a pair of shoes for you so you just went barefoot.

11. You always volunteered to play sports with your dad and brothers.

They always needed someone to even out the games so you always volunteered because let’s be honest, you wanted to play too.

12. There are way more pictures of you and your dad than you and anyone else in the family.

Your mom loved having pictures but it always seemed that your dad and you were always more than willing to take pictures together.
