A Father's Love
I lived in the city with my father. Recently, I bought a new house which is light, large and comfortable. But since we lived in the new house, my father always had been tired. He was often sleeping in bed, loudly snoring in the day. The snore that reverberated in the whole new house made me unable to focus on my work and I couldn't sleep well. Because I was a freedom contributor who sometimes worked in the night and sometimes slept in the daytime. Because I wanted to earn the money to live, pay off the debt and buy the new house. I had an occupational disease of neurasthenia, so I needed a quiet situation for resting and working. And also I was afraid that he maybe had some

It made me so tired. Is it undue that I needed a quiet situation? The next afternoon, I had been asleep until four o'clock. When I woke up I felt the house was so quiet. I didn't hear any snoring, so I went to my father's room, but my father was not in. I thought maybe he went out to meet his friends to play cards with them. I always hoped that he could go out to do something to relieve his weariness. Although I complained with my father, my father could understand me. Everyday my father came back in time and cooked for me. Then he would go out again. One day, I asked my father what did he do and where he wanted to go. My father answered "No, nothing." And then went out. When he came back again, I said, "You should take care of yourself, and eat something nutritious." Because I felt that my father was getting thinner than before. But his skin became whiter. And my father told me that he was healing and strong, he was fine. Although I still worried about him, I didn't say any more words. I thought maybe I was suspicious, but at last I knew that, in fact, I was careless with my father and blamed him wrongly.
At the end of the year, I was invited to write a report by my friend's manager. As thanks, the manager invited my friend and me to have a dinner. After dinner, we went to a big bathroom together.
Beside the huge tub, which was surrounded by vapor, I saw
Many people have ways of influencing others. Most people use words to affect other people. An amount of individuals would utilize their gift of persuasion to convince others of their causes or maybe arguments, while some use authority to force people to do as they are told. These several differences can apply to fathers as well. Not all fathers are similar when it comes to educating their children. Many are gentle, while some are more dominant. Randy T Caldwell, a somewhat young spirited middle aged man. Dark skinned with black Gucci frames to accommodate his big brown eyes. Standing 5’11, board shoulders, happy, loving, man of
Annoyed at this, I turned once again and lay on my back. I took a deep
Initially, Carlos (aka Charlie) was court ordered for treatment to explore his issues with substance abuse, when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated. During subsequent sessions, Charlie spoke of his early childhood struggles with being accepted by his family and his rebellious behaviors. Currently, Charlie still explores his issues with his self-esteem while he blames others for the way he feels about himself. However, Charlie had expressed feelings of anger towards those around him including his girlfriends, ex-wives, manager, directors, and co-workers proclaiming them all as losers and himself as a “Winner!” He has commented to reporters that he has no anger issues and it is everyone else’s problem with the way he acts not his,
How could I have slept so long? I yawned big, rolled out of bed, and opened my door. The house sounded empty.
No matter the age, children are always precious human beings in this world and leaving them for just a few minutes can be a life changer, such as something unspeakable that can happen to them at any given time. When having a tight schedule parents don’t tend to think clearly, especially if they’re in a rush. Any parent would want their children to have a safe healthy life, knowing that they are in good hands. Leaving a child from the ages 0-10, by themselves shouldn’t be an option to consider. Children at those ages like to explore and figure out no things, even like to wander off, that isn’t safe for anyone, especially as little as they are.
We rarely saw Dad without a smile, except when we left food on our plate, and it wasn’t because there were starving children in India. We also learned never to say we were hungry because Dad would mutter, “You kids don’t know what it is to be hungry.” At the time I didn’t know why he said it, but I did know it was terribly important that we gratefully eat whatever food was put in front of us. Dad was loving and thoughtful
With my father’s health on the line as usual, life went on. I had been watching for years the maturation of my once young at heart father into a cynical senior citizen.
Growing up, I began noticing not having a male figure in my life. Due to my father being absent in my life, my mother provided and worked multiple jobs to bring food to the table and pay the bills. We lived in a middle class neighborhood; it didn't have much crime or corruption. The only degrading thing that was slowly rising in my neighborhood was teen pregnancy. My mother drilled in my head to not fall into her footsteps and to not have a baby out of wedlock. With my mother having me young, my father being missing in my life, and my life being filled with predomaaintly women in my life, they all played a major roll in my life and my thought process.
From 9 A.M. to 7 P.M for 6 or even 7 days of the week, they would always return home with this look of tiredness and fatigue. From when they came home to when they would sleep, they would rarely say anything. When my father would be free occasionally, he would always spend it reading a book, watching a documentary, or even writing. At the age of 10, I remember my dad showing me a poem he wrote that day. I, of course, forgot the contents since then, but I remember feeling guilty; even at the age of 53, his creative mind and desire for knowledge never left him, but here I am preventing him from pursuing them fully. And I felt the same for my mother: I would feel bad that she would have to dedicate most of her time to provide for me, while she could be doing other things she enjoyed, like exercising. Whenever I would bring this up, they would always say “You’re my son! You are the most important!” I never believed their words at first, but I would eventually start to feel the magnitude of their statements and learn the message they were trying to imbue in me: life is all about sacrifice, so you need to figure out what is worth it and what
"Victoria! Don't forget to pack, it's your dads weekend." My mom shouted across the hallway in our house. My parents have been divorced since before I was born so every time my father was in town I'd visit him. When I was younger, I would always ask my dad if I could spend the night at my cousins house since they were from his side of his family and that was the only time I could see them. Afterwards it became a routine going over to their house, little by little I hated going there but I was left in silence. One night, my cousin Emily went out with her friends and I was left to sleep alone in her room. As I was slowly falling asleep, I heard the door creek open and quietly shut closed... I quickly awaken, my heart beats as if it is about to pop out of my chest, I weep as movements get closer and he says "shhh.." There he was, beside me gliding his fingers down my belly to places his hands shouldn't be.
"Never forget the past…because it may haunt you forever. Regret all the bad things…cherish the good things. Look ahead always…but don't let the bad things from the past get in your mind." As a young child, there were so many incidents in my life that made me become the person I am today. There were rough times as well as good times. If I were to tell you all of them, I would remember half of them. I think some of my incidents really had some impact, and some were just simple ways of life. To tell you the truth, the incident that had the most impact on me has to be when my real father left me at the age of three. I never knew my father. I mean being a baby, you really have no experience or recognition of somebody else.
Last day before work start tomorrow and I enjoyed being out on the river and taking pictures on a climb. There is just something amazing about looking thru a camera. The details of color, reflection, a moment capture forever. What would we capture without a camera if we just focus during the day? A smile, beautiful clouds, people? Dad creates many moments for us every day, don’t miss them. Capture them in your mind’s eye and cherish them.
My father showed up to my graduation late missing me walk across the stage receiving my diploma, but I still love him. When I was younger we had a normal father daughter relationship until Valentine’s day of 2009 when he left. My mom left the house and business to get away from their toxic marriage. They soon got a divorce and ever since then he hasn’t been an active reliable father. Years passed, and I was still holding on to hope that he’d someday will re-enter his three-daughter’s life but hope soon vanished when he did not attend anything he should’ve as a father, call to check up on us or send not only monetary support, but support in general. My mother and father had a great relationship I would say before the divorce but of course
Getting pregnant at fifteen has brought my life so much purpose and responsibility. My greatest priority is raising my son to be a respectful, well rounded, and successful man. My greatest obstacle has also been raising a fatherless son. As a single mother, I am the primary provider, the disciplinarian, and the role model. I am solely responsible for my child’s education, health, and happiness. Like other single mothers, I make a valorous effort to succeed at all these roles and more. I’ve been far from perfect at my motherly duties but I’ve learned many life lessons from each one of our situations, which are all priceless.
Over time, there have been several people who have influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been privileged to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. Of all the people I have encountered in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
