Dad on a Boat

Welcome if you are stopping in from The Mom Creative!! I'm glad you are here! 

This is my Dad and I on a Boat.

A fishing boat in Hawaii, I was 13. I thought pink gecko tank tops and permed long bangs were fashionable.

This vacation was spent with my parents, and my Aunt and Uncle. We chartered a small fishing boat to snorkel on; it felt a bit like the Minnow.  We saw all sorts of amazing sea creatures and enjoyed the adventure together.  I can remember my Dad diving down to swim with sea turtles, and not understanding the tricks that clear blue water can play on depth perception. I can still feel the fear of sliding into the water knowing that I was going to break off a piece of coral (It was actually so much further down than I could comprehend).  Even when I didn’t trust his advice, my Dad stayed near and coaxed me through my fears. You see that’s what you do when you love someone, or at least that’s one way my Dad loves me.

A fishing boat in Maine, I was 24. I thought that Pink hats and Pea coats were fashionable.

This vacation was spent with just the Taylor Trio (My Mom, Dad, and I). We chartered a small fishing boat to visit Puffins. Puffins are a sea bird, and also my Mom’s favorite animal.  These silly little birds call a little island off the coast of Maine home, and we were just crazy enough to go visit them. You see that’s what you do when you love someone, or at least that’s one way my Dad loves her. We arrived at the island and proceeded up mossy rocks and ropes (yes I slipped and fell, and anyone who knows me won’t be surprised) and spent our time listening to Puffins land on our blind, watching them waddle around, and hugged my Mom as her dreams came true! It was kind of magical!

These are just two, of many times that I have shared sweet time with my Dad on a Boat.  Water Skiing, House Boating, Whale Watching, Cruising, Fishing, oh and that time on the wave runner (let’s not talk about that, OUCH) are some of my favorite memories with him. 

There is something truly amazing about being the Daughter of this Man! He is skilled at loving us! He is a protector of my tender heart, and a wonderful example of a husband.  He is a lover of my Jesus, and lives his faith in all that he does! 

I am blessed to be his!  

Love you Dad!
