my dad makes me cry my own tears

But in a good way.  He just sent me this e-mail to cheer me up:

"I am sorry you didn't get the job you wanted :( . Don't let it get you too down. There will be other opportunities for you. Keep doing what you have been doing. Some one will pick you up because they will recognize your potential. All you have to do is keep putting yourself out there and success will follow because you have so much to offer. It may just take some time for the right person to recognize it. Meanwhile me and your mom are here for you and Jimmy if you need anything! I love you and I think you are AWESOME!!"

And he attached a super cute picture of us.  Dads are the bestest

Re: my dad makes me cry my own tears

  • Aww.  That's sweet.  This post is making me miss my dad.  He was always so great with the pep talks, and was so ridiculously proud of me (for no discernable reason, near as I can tell).

  • Aww.  That is really sweet.

    I missed your post about the job.  Sorry dude.  It would have sucked anyway.  You would have had to sit next to a sweaty, smelly man named Marvin.  Marvin likes to clip his fingernails at his desk and then eat the clippings.  You are really better off.

  • My dad is sooooo not like this, which is ironic since he is a minister. But then again, I'm not really like that either, so I guess it all evens out.

    Sorry about the job, though.  

  • Aww, Shamwow.  Dads are the best, aren't they?  I really think they get more sentimental as they get older.

    I'm with him, though.  I just know the perfect job is going to come along and they're going to realize just how awesome you are.

    Nov, I could have said this verbatim.

    Sorry you didn't get the job you wanted...that is hard.

  • Dads are good people. That's sweet.

  • I'm sorry you didn't get the job, Shammy. : (  Hang in there; you WILL find something great from a company that recognizes how great you are.

    and, my dad is awesome but not very pep-talk-y.  Either is my mom.  Maybe that's why I've always been so independent, NOT because you sent me to summer camp, MOM.

  • That's so sweet, Shamwow. Dad's are the best at that. I still have the email saved that my dad sent me when I turned 21. It was all about how proud he was of me and what an amazing adult I was going to be and all this stuff. I get teary just thinking about it.

    my H has a saved letter like that and his dad still emails him once in a while along the same lines.  We went to his cousin's HS grad party and her (step)dad made a really amazingly sweet speech about how proud he is, etc.  my parents are great parents, but DAMN.  I feel cheated out of parental pride or something.  I'm getting a little sad thinking about it.  Okay.  I'll be 32 in two months for pete's sake.  I should just move on.

  • You are lucky to have a dad like this.  Mine would say something like, "What stupid thing did you say to lose this job?  You probably brought up your ultra liberal politics and told him you hate Rush Limbaugh and offended him."
