Large Coffee = Big Smiles

My dad does sooooo much for me and sometimes instead of being grateful, I act as if I'm entitled. Daddy doesn't ask for much, in fact he doesn't ask for anything. He is just happy when his family is happy but he does have a few guilty pleasures of his own: sweets and good coffee.

I sometimes get a little grumpy when I have to wake up for work in the evenings, especially if I'm sleep deprived and last week I sort of snapped at him because there was nothing to eat for dinner before I went to work. Mind you it was all my fault since I didn't cook but my daddy didn't even respond to my temper tantrum. He just quietly and quickly went up the street and returned with something for me to eat. Did I deserve it? Absolutely not but he did it anyway. Why? Well I couldn't tell you but as my friend Terry's bbm status says: "My daddy's love comes with a lifetime guarantee" and I have to agree.

That night at work I felt so guilty for being rude to him for no reason so to make it up to him I bought home a large coffee from Dunkin Donuts the next morning. When I handed him his cup, his eye lit up and he said he couldn't believe how sweet and thoughtful I was. I really wondered if he forgot how I acted the night before... nevertheless it made me love my dad even more (if that's even possible) to see such a small gesture as a large coffee equal big smiles, especially when I don't deserve it.
