Daddy's Girl, by Mark Tulin
5/6/2020
Daddy pampered his daughter and made sure she was comfortable.
“You don’t have to lift a finger,” he said and discouraged her from working or doing chores while buying anything she wished.
“You are my precious little girl, and I want you to stay that way.”
When Daddy passed, his little girl, now forty-seven, got a job at a gas station food mart. For the first time, she knew how it felt to get her hands dirty and to earn a wage.
Life was hard, she thought, but living a sheltered life, with things handed to her, was far worse.

Without the need to take responsibility for yourself, you miss out on so much of life.
Also, maybe you spend too much time pleasing Daddy and not yourself.
Yes, that, too.
