what is your father?
Answers
To me, my father is a guide; a mentor; an inspiration; a friend; a teacher. He is so many wonderful things.
He's always there for me. Even when I'm beating myself up over my failures, filled with self-loathing and anger, he is there. He's filled with this relentless optimism that never fails to inspire me. He lifted me up from the abyss of depression that I had entered with this.
That man truly has a way with words. He knows just the things to say when I'm at my lowest. He has this unshakable faith in my abilities and has supported every single endeavor of mine. Be it setting up a little lemonade stand as a whimsical childhood fantasy or pursuing an unconventional career. When the world stood up against me, laughed at, scorned and mocked me, my father resisted.
I don't have the eloquence to truly express how incredibly grateful I am for his invaluable presence. My father is a wondrous miracle; one that I still seek to understand.
