My Great Dad
By Wanda Reyes
I have a wonderful husband and he is a great father to my 1-year-old baby, Werner, but I want to refer this story to my dad.
My dad was the greatest dad, and now he is an even better grandfather. My baby for the only person that cries for when he leaves and that looks for every weekend when he wakes up is for my dad. He gets out of his crib and immediately signals the door were he knows he will find my dad. My dad has always been a hard worker, and when we were little we only will see him on weekends or every two weeks since he has worked always in another city and he still does, but now with my baby he just makes up excuses at work saying he has to go to meetings just to get home since on a Wednesday when he should be at home on a Saturday. He can't be watching a TV program when my son is asleep because he stands up every five minutes to see if he already woke up (and with all the open and closing of the door he does wakes up real quickly). He wants to buy him everything he sees even though he knows that my son is not going to pay any attention to toys because he just likes to be in his arms all the time. They are crazy about each other and now that I am pregnant again I know that my other son or daughter is going to get to love him as much as Werner does right now. And it is good to know that they are going to get to have a wonderful image of their grandfather and a great example to follow.
