It’s time for Bobby and I do do our first father daughter activity: hiking. Last episode we went through a blog list of tips for how to be a great dad and while we didn’t love every suggestion (honestly, some of them were down right creepy) we decided a few of them might be worth trying out, you’re welcome.
Bobby’s seemingly just figured out that he’s been an absent dad thus far and we don’t know anything about each other. This epiphany has led him to understand that had he been around during my childhood we’d know a lot more about each other and he has NO idea how to be a dad… it’s taken him a bit too long to realize this but I’m glad that we might finally be on the same page.
Dad’s carrying the backpack, check. Sunscreen, check. We’re on our first father-daughter hike and Bobby says he’s feeling pretty good about it.
During our walk, we’re covering some of our memories for when I’m younger like the time I almost fell out of the roller coaster, crying in front of my dad, how he’s basically the inverter of snowboarding and a few other historic gems. But the conversation derails itself when Bobby shares that he thinks a woman younger than I am is hot—the only point I’ll give him is that he realized it was inappropriate… after the fact.
Bobby’s also sharing his belief system with me, some experiences he had when he was younger and an epiphany he had while driving one night. We’re getting into some deep conversations this week and it gets a little weird.
With activity number one complete, I’m going to chalk it up to a success. My distant dad still struggles because he always put himself first but I think we’re making some progress.
