Memories....

As long as I can remember, my dad has always called me nicknames growing up. It is something that has always made me smile each time he says one of them. 

Growing up he has called me different ones ranging from sugar, pumpkin and a lot of the time he calls me toots. 

I never really knew what toots meant, it was just something that he said to me. Today I talked to my parents and when my dad got of the phone, he said, hi toots!

So, after the call I decided to go look to see if there was a meaning behind it. Looking online, it says that toots is slang and it means darling or dear. 

That totally fits something my dad would say.

I love this man more than words will ever be able to say. It has been a long 16 months since I have seen either one of my parents. I have always seen one of my parents at least once a year since I moved up north. Thanks to COVID, I have not seem either one of them in 16 months and my heart is so sad. Thankfully they have gotten both their vaccines and I should be getting mine in May and then we can plan for them to come up north and see our new house. 

I have 2 of the best parents a girl could ever ask for. They have always been supportive and loving. They might not have approved of all that I have done in my life, but they have always loved me and have always been here for me. I hope that I can share that love and acceptance with my daughter every single day!
