My Dad and my Friend

My dad and I have always been close. I remember that when I was really young and my sister had just been born, I'm slightly ashamed to say I was a bit jealous of the attention she needed. (I had been very used to being an only child. ) A day or so after my my mom and sister came home from the hospital, my dad took me aside and said that I'd always be his special friend.  This was actually really helpful to me and I and my sister and my brother, all became good friends. To this day, sometimes when I call my parents my Dad still calls me that sometimes. I'm glad I'm able to see my dad as a good friend as well as a father. He really is the only father I'd ever want to have.
