Hi,
My name is Alaina Lucio, I’m 17 years old, and I really love my Daddy.
Sometimes I worry about him.
When he’s shoveling and his face turns all red and I know its not from the cold.
When we’re playing catch and he’s out of breath from running after the ball.
When he’s sick and refuses to go to the doctor’s.
When he gives himself his shot every night.
When his mouth swells up because his tooth is infected.
When he drinks and he knows it’ll mess with his blood sugar.
When he says he got a letter threatening to shut off the electricity, water, or take our home away.
When he can only afford peanut butter to eat.
When his car is on E.
When I think about how he might not be around if he doesn’t take care of himself.
When I think about getting married without him walking me down the aisle.
When I wonder if he’ll meet his grandkids.
When I realize I really love him more than anyone else in the world.
When I understand why he worries about me.
Because I worry about him just as much.
I’m Alaina Lucio, I’m 17 years old, and I really love my daddy. <3
