My Daughter's Father

I would like to introduce this man to everyone. This man is my daughter's father. I have so much that I could say about him and although there are a few negatives, there are quite a significant amount of positives. I met him Labor Day weekend of 2012 at a softball tournament. After we first met, we talked for hours and hours every day up until we went to bed. After a couple of weeks, he decided to come see me at my apartment in Mount Pleasant. From there on, we had one of the best relationships ever. We decided to make ourselves "Facebook official" on November 3, 2012. Every weekend was spent together, we did everything together like best friends would do. On Christmas break, we spent a lot of our time together when he was not busy with work. New Years Eve we went to spend the night drinking and partying with one of his friends, little did we know that we would end up conceiving our first child that night. A few weeks went by and I had noticed that my body just felt different, so I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I was really scared to tell him, but I knew that I had to overcome it. At first we went through a lot of arguing and a lot of emotions but it got better as it went along. He sacrificed time with his friends and family to make sure that he was spending his weekends with me. He took me to see Luke Bryan in concert in February 2013.  He would rub my belly and give me back massages. Eventually, things got really nasty and he decided that he didn't no longer want to be a part of my life or his daughters life. It hurt me more than anything and I could not begin to describe the emotions I experienced. I went through the last 4 months of my pregnancy constantly crying because there was nothing I could do to save our relationship. I was so surprised when he decided to show up to the hospital. To this day, we argue over a lot of little things, but at the end of the day we thank each other for the best gift in the world and that would be our beautiful daughter McKenzie Rae Dickinson. Our relationship will never be the same, but I will always love him and care about him as my daughters father. <3
