I love having a dad,

But I hate that you get that title.

I love having a phone,

But I hate that we only talk twice a year.

I love when the holidays come around, 

But I hate that you just send me a check.

I love when I can see you,

But I hate that you make me your babysitter.

I love my (half) brother and sister, 

But I hate that they are replacements for me and my sister.

I love your stories,

But I wish you would ask about mine.

I love having a family, 

But I hate that you keep me a secret. 

I love the similarities we have,

But I hate how you don't even notice.

I love sharing the last name with you, 

But I can't wait to get rid of it!
