I felt bad, having just broken up with my boyfriend and decided to spend Christmas at home. I had been away at college and at 19 years old I still got homesick. I knew my dad would be lonely and miserable since neither my brother nor sister were coming home for the holiday and my mom was in the hospital again. I should have felt sorry for her, but she called me all the time complaining constantly about her aches and pains so much I was just disgusted with the situation. My dad was upset about it also. I knew things were bad between them since he was now sleeping in my brother's old bedroom. I often wondered how he managed to stay with her. I had recently broken up with my boyfriend and I longed for the familiar presence of my dad and my own home.
I thought my dad was a sexy older guy, sweet and caring. My boyfriend had been a good lucking guy but did not have the rugged features of my father. After working at hard labor all his life my dad's body was incredible. Hard rippling muscles, wide shoulders tapering down to a slender waist and a great ass. Of course, I had already had sex many times with my boyfriend, but I was still waiting for that ultimate sexual encounter.
My dad picked me up from the airport hugging me tight and kissing me on the cheek. My heart felt full of love for him as he held me. It felt so good to have his strong arms holding me after the hurt I had been through. Arriving home, he took my bags up to my old room and stood watching me as I unpacked. He said after I had rested we would go through the snowy fields of the farm and find a tree since he had been too depressed to start any type of decorating for the holiday yet. The pain in his eyes matched my own. I hadn't been looking forward to this holiday alone either.
We tramped through the snow in the fields to find the perfect tree. It was freezing cold and I held his hand tightly to keep from slipping and falling. I was happy to be with him, starting to feel much better at the familiar sights of snow covered trees and fields. I squeezed his hand and smiled. We finally found our tree and I admired his strong arms as he chopped it down.
