I have a father who is very cold but very funny too and who we love. As dad doesn’t know how to do, so I tried to grow up with a distant dad. At the age of 18, I felt a huge lack. We never said I love you to each other, and we never even touched each other. He has never been accustomed to physical contact that frightened him. One day I met an incredible woman. I like to call her Miss Fairy. She would help me find the keys out of this lack .We started to collaborate. One day she said to me. “You need to start to tame your dad. Even if has never learned to love, it’s never too late to do so. You’re going to start with an exercise. When you’re at home, you will start to touch his shoulder. ” In my head, this seemed impossible. He will push me away and I don’t want to suffer this evil. So I came home stressed out, then d a sudden HOP, and I’ve touch his shoulder. The next day I shared this with Miss Fairy and she asked me to continue. After a while, it became more natural for me. Not for him though. Now, she said…..: “We will change the exercise. When you are home and he comes in, you shall give him a kiss. Tell him, ‘Daddy, I feel like giving you a kiss’.” When I got home, without thinking too much, I did as she said. He walked away, shocked. He then asked me for what reason I’ve done that. I told him that it was like this from now on, and it will be all the time. It’s been 7 years since, and every time I visit my parents, I give him a kiss. One day, when I was upset, I forgot to great him. He came up to me and asked.” You’re not giving me a kiss?” Never in my life I would have imagined to getting there one day. A few days later, I’m in the car with my dad and we listen to a little fairy telling the story about how a little seed has grown up. At the end, he took me in his arms and said, “I love my daughter.” Thank you Miss Fairy because it is thanks to her trust and love in me that I’m here today.
