Love you Daddykins! :]

Have you ever longed for something so much that it actually hurt? I have (well do) and its not something silly like a boyfriend or to have every series of the OC on DVD - which i do want 'cos flipping LOVE The OC. Its my dad, well to be specific, it's for my dad to become a Christian.. and soon. Me and dad didn't used to get on much at all, we always seemed to be arguing. But now that mum.. well lets just say she took away almost 100% a problem dad had spiritually, now, we get along amazingly and I love him all the time, whereas before I am ashamed to say sometimes I didn't. I just know that if he were a christian, we would be even closer and have so much more to talk about; life basically would absolutely be wonderful, ever through all the bad times I would still have the beautiful peace in my heart knowing that my dad would be going to Heaven one day too. I would be able to worship our Lord and Creator beside my dad. I don't know what I would do if dad died before he believed the truth, all I know is; I would need a whole lot of prayer!
I so badly want him to share me faith by the time I get married, to have him worshiping God and not just singing at my wedding would make the day so much more special.
