I never realized how much this man has done for me and maybe I may not get the chance to really see all that he has done for me, but what I do know is that he is my father.
People may say that their father has always been there for them, or they may also say that there father can go to hell. Everyone looks up to somebody, may be a pro-football player, a CEO, their mom, themselves, and that is what drives someone in life.
I remember as a kid I use to complain a lot, and my dad gave me what I wanted until one day he couldn't take it no more. Man, my dad use to beat the living crap out of me! I remember when he held me like a dead chicken by its legs and use a tool to whip me. haha!
I think that at the age of 16 was when I realize my dad was everything to me. He taught me what school couldn't teach me. He raised me to become man, someone who can provide and take care of himself and others.
I got a chance to work with my dad over the summer and man! I could't work like that! I wonder how my dad put up with it?
My dad is not only a father, he is the best father in the whole world. What always got to me is the fact that he made something out of nothing.
My dad and I are just like you and your dad. We always fight and we always get tired of each other, but at the end of the day he's helping me become a better man. Lessons are hard learned and I know that at my age now nothing is going to be handed to me. I'm away from home and have to do stuff on my own. My parents made me start working for stuff when I turned about 16 so i know exactly where you're coming from
ReplyDeleteMy dad and I do NOT get along at all. My dad is retired Army and he's probably one of the meanest people I've ever met. Ever since I started playing tennis, my dad has never been supportive. We always get into fights and he's just a very negative person. I remember when I was little that my dad almost hit me but I quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door before he could hit me. He's also a very controlling person. I have never gotten along with him and I've never had any "bonding" time with him. I don't know what it's like to have a loving father. So I kind of understand where you're coming from but at least you get along with him.
ReplyDeleteWow! You really have inspired everyone to think about their own families... And me, too... It's funny how relationships change over time. I think about how my own position and context at different moments in my life has really changed the relationship I have with either parent. Strangely, though, I don't really think of my parents changing, ya know? Of course they do/have/are, but I guess I have a view of them as these steady unchanging people.... Which is probably not anywhere close to real.... Hmmmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteHonestly i feel your point. When we are kids are parents are everything and as we get older we start getting annoyed of them. But then as we get even older we realize why our parents did certain things. We realize that they did everything for a reason. Me and my dad have a great relationship. I can joke around with him when i want but when can be serious at the same time.
