My Two Dads

I have two dads. They both live in the same place. I’ve only ever seen one of them, but soon I will eel both. My dad,Lloyd was a quiet, caring man with a temper. When he would get mad he would slam and bang things and use bad language, but not real bad. He was protective of me. I remember one time he witnessed something a neighbor kid did to me and my mom had to hold him back from doing serious damage to the kid. My other dad is the most loving and caring being you could ever meet. Not only is he protective, I am also the apple of his eye I really can’t compare him to Lloyd, that wouldn’t be fair. The one difference between the two of them is my other dad does not have a temper. 

Lloyd was a good provider.  He was a good handy man, could fix a car and do all sorts of stuff around the house. He loved to set out in the front yard and listen to the Cub games on the radio or visit with people who would come by. He was a walker, would walk downtown just to see people. Enjoyed being in the mall watching people go by. Kids loved him, animals were attracted to him. If you needed help, he would be there for you. Though the words were never said, we loved each other.

My other dad, well he loved me more and had I known him better, I probably would have loved him more than Lloyd. No offense. This dad, oh the promises he can and did keep! What an amazing man. He could build and fix things too he was a carpenter by trade. He was also a quiet man. Didn’t have all that many friends. Did a lot of walking like Lloyd did. Unfortunately he died young. He was in his thirties. But the really amazing thing was, three days after he died, he came back to life and after that Is when I got to know him. Oh my gosh what a ride it has been.

To this day I enjoy his quiet nature. I take comfort in his caring words.

I see many similarities n him and Lloyd. I know they see each other quite a bit considering they are in the same place. This dad I can run to and get on his lap and talk to him and he will answer me.

I’m glad my relationship with Lloyd was a loving and caring one. I’m glad my relationship with my other dad continues to grow every day.

I could go on and on about both of them.

I’m sorry if you never had the chance to know Lloyd. He we a good guy. However, if you would like to know my other dad, I can introduce you to him, His name is Jesus and he is so awesome that once he walked on water and he made all sorts of sick people well again. But the most amazing thing he ever did was hang on a cross and die for all of us. Not quite sure if Lloyd would have done that for me. Again, no offense.

Lloyd never really made any promises to me, he might have in his heart but never verbally said them. Jesus however made one that he has kept and will always keep,.

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
