A Good Father
This story starts slowly and builds. This is an ongoing lead into further chapters so if you don't like the first part, please feel free to skip to the fucking. As always, this story was told to me by the actual father daughter mentioned. The names have been changed to protect their actions. All sex is done after all are over the age of 18 and still happening as of this telling. It is not my history but is factual. There are no editors involved as I have read stories that editors were used and there were many mistakes. Hope there is not any major mistakes and I hope you enjoy it. I don't care about ratings and I do read the comments and I take none to heart; bad, good or indifferent. I write for pleasure and I spend on average 1 or two days writing. I hope you enjoy! There is more to come.
.....................
My name is William or Bill! I have always considered myself to be a good father. I became a father at the young age of 18 and yet I managed to continue my education while supporting a family. Although I did marry the mother of my baby girl, and provided them with a nice apartment, a decent car, and I kept food on the table while attending college and working a few jobs. We never went without or so I thought!
My wife told me on our last day of living together, that she was not happy because she wanted to live life to the fullest and experience new things while she was still young enough to enjoy it. That night she packed her bags and handed me the divorce papers. So, here I was not quite 20 years old with an 18 month-old daughter, still in school and divorced along with a commitment that no one should have to face alone. The mother of our child not only gave up on our marriage, but our 18-month old daughter. Six months later she disappeared from our lives and neither my daughter nor I have heard from her since.
From that day thru today, I have devoted my life to raising Catherine; I call her Kate for short, as best I could. When I attended classes or went out for an evening of fun, I had my mother watch Kate and she shared the love and devotion of a grand-mother without questioning or countering my wishes until she passed when Kate was 15.
As a loving father, I always made time for my baby girl. I attended every school function, plays, and parent- teacher conferences. I encouraged Kate to participate in sports, debate teams, and her graduations were very special for not only her but for a very proud father! When I bought our home, I made sure to include Kate in all areas of the purchase; i.e. the swimming pool, the garden, and she asked if we could have the four bedrooms along with the basement gym. I love my child and never saw her as anything but a beautiful child that was and still is my reason for living. I could not deny her what she wanted.
Her reddish hair and green eyes along with her pouty simile would always melt my heart and would help her to get me to go with what she wanted but with limits. Yes I probably spoiled her just a little; never did I see her as a sexual person even when we went shopping for her clothing or underwear. She was my little girl and I loved her!
After her grand-mother passed, it was my responsibility to ensure that Kate was informed about birth control and everything that a teenager needed to know. We had always slept in the same house unless she had the normal sleepovers with her friends. I was a very loving father and supported Kate in whatever she became involved with. I would help with home work. No, I did not do her work, but I was there to assist her. I managed to give her all the privacy she needed, with zero accidental walk-ins while she was in her room or bathroom. From the time she was 9, I did not see my daughter nude.
Although I did make sure she was properly dressed before she went out of the house. I told her about how boys and men were and I taught her to keep her body covered modestly and always aim to be a proper young lady.
From the time Kate was a baby I would read to her before bedtime. I would have a glass of milk sitting on the table by my big comfy chair and she would run and jump into my lap or push me over to so she could sit beside me and turn the pages. Around the age of 5, she was the one that picked the stories we would read. After the story time I would tuck her into her bed and kiss her goodnight and dim the lights on my way to my own bedroom. When she had a nightmare, she would knock on my door and wait for me to tell her to come in, and she would ask to sleep in my bed. I would, allow her to get into my bed, but once she went to sleep I would carry her back to her own bed. When she reached the age of 13 I put that to an end.
Kate had just graduated high school and it was her first day out of school for her last summer home, before she would be going to college. She wanted to attend the same college I had and it was about 50 miles from our home, she wanted to join my company after she received her business degree. I supported her choices.
On the first night after she graduated high school and the second day after turning 18, she came to me and asked if I was going to read to her like every other night of her life, and of course I replied yes sweetheart. I reminded her that in a few months this would end because she would be staying in the dorm at school and come home on the week-ends. That it was going to be a major change that I would miss most.
She told me that she was going to get ready for bed and pick out a story for us to read saying in her best "Arnold" voice "I'll be back" and away she went.
I went to pour her a glass of milk and then too put on my pajamas', my robe, and returned to the family room. I turned on my reading light beside my chair. As was typical, I lit a fire in the fireplace and sat in my big comfy reading chair. I sat waiting on her return, I reflected on our years of this tradition with a smile on my face. I wondered how many nights would Kate want to keep this nightly reading to continue?
I heard Kate come into the room and shut the door. She reached and lowered the lights as usual and came and sat on my lap. She put her arms around me and hugged me. She had her bathrobe on as was custom and she had her normal night gown on I presumed. All of this was part of our normal routine that we had done for almost 15 years.
We talked for a while and she explained that she too was going to miss this time the most and how she wished it would never end. I hugged her as if it would be the last time!
Kate turned to the table and picked up a book she had placed when she came into the room. This was taking place in our normal family room; it was the same room we had used for story time all her life. It was the same room we used when I talked to her about her mother, the same room I explained about sex the very same room and the same room where we decided on her birth control. This was the very same room that all of closest times were spent. I digress!
When she handed the book to me it open and she said, "Daddy, I have read up to this page, so if you can start on this page I will be happy!"
I told her, "Sure sweetheart, I'll start where you left off."
