Do you love your father?

Yup, I love him very much, and I cherish everyday with him. Both my parents are in their 70-80s, and I am very thankful for their health and independence. My dad gave me a lot of freedom, guidance and support - and I really thank God for him.

My father was protective when we were kids, yet we can really feel until now that we have our own family his love for us. He still cooks for us. And best of all, grandchildren are so blessed to him because they are looked after him. He is a good provider. we never grew up rebellious because he certainly discipline us n a way that it should be. Not so strict but not so lenient.

I don't love my father. He was a bad dad. We have no relationship at all. He never thought me anything accept that men leave. I love my stepdad though. He fulfilled all the "daddy" roles in my life. I'm luckier than some because of him and that.

I love my father, because I know that I can always go to him with any problem. He taught me about acceptance. My oldest brother is homosexual, and my dad told me that no matter what choices my brother would make in life, he would always be my brother and nothing could change that. I truly believe those words and live by them. My father also taught me about forgiveness and letting go of pain. His mother was murdered in her own home when I was a little girl, and it was a very difficult time for our family. My father taught me the peace of knowing that she was at peace and that we don't need to be angry all the time or else it would just eat me up. And he was right. My aunts and uncles are still bitter to this day, but my father has had a more full life because he was able to let go of the anger and just deal with the sadness. He also comforts me whenever a relationship doesn't turn out well for me. He is one of the greatest people in my life.
