your father.. what is he like?

My father is a wonderful man who I love very much. My parents are the unique ones that raised five kids of their own plus left their doors open for the neighborhood kids that were mistreated. We often had spares growing up and never knew how many kids were going to be there in the morning. Dad provided for all of us and even the spares were his kids. This year has been especially rough on my dad as my "adopted" brother passed away unexpectedly two months ago. The army knew the story behind my brother's adoption into the family and honored my parents as his parents by providing them with some of his military medals. Just last year, my dad became even more of a hero to us. My nephew tripped and the dog's chain had wrapped around his neck. Another nephew screamed and my dad ran out the door without even thinking about it and proceeded to free my nephew from the chain around his neck. The emergency room doctor said that my dad literally saved my nephew's life. Within a few minutes he would have suffocated. My nephew has recovered and is doing well now.

My father is a hardworking dad who strives to provide the best for his family. In turn, he expects the best from his children especially in school. He is a disciplinarian: No offense is overlooked nor goes unpunished. Growing up, I've always admired his intelligence and principles. I remember making a fathers' day card for him when I was 10 years old. Imagine my surprise upon receiving the card back with corrections and all! I regarded his opinions and teachings more than those of my teachers.

well my dad i say that he is not perfect but he is the best dad ever existed!! im just blessed that im a daughter of a father which is a good man,person,brother,uncle,cousin,son,husband and of course a good dad to his children=))

Hi there, My dad is alive and still very strong, his an X-Military official here in the philipines, and now he's managing his store at New Zealand. His is a very cool person and can make friends with just about anyone.

Hello Ma'am! My dad is still alive, in fact He just celebrated 60th last June 6 this year. I thanked God for the life of my dad because I have so many accomplishments because of Him. Without my father, i couldn't finished up college and was able to work satisfying my profession. He is also very protective and strict esp. when it comes to spending time wisely, even spending quality budget and making major decisions. Even after my marriage with my husband, I can see how loving, generous, caring and protective my dad esp. to his grandchildren. He sees to it that his family are in safe, well provided and in proper standing. I always pray that the Lord will continue to bless His life, making him a blessing to everyone surrounding him. HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all great DADS in the World!

I lost my dad when I was 12. He didn't get to see me grow up. What I do remember is riding on his shoulders and that he would surprise me with gifts. He was kind and he Loved, loved my mom. I can remember his voice. It was a little soft and raspy.sadly that's all I can remember.

Hi ann,it is nice to read about your feelings for your dad and it shows that you shared a special bond with him. It was the same with me. My father passed away 12 years ago when he had a heart attack and We all miss him a lot to this day. My father was a very special person who had absolutely no enemies. He was always fair to everyone and treated not just us his family with a lot of love and care but others too who were close to him.I had planned many things to do with him and my mother - his greatest desire was to take me and my mom to his favorite Calcutta where he had spent many years of his life, and show us all his old haunts and generally show us the city, but it never happened ...

Hi Ann... my dad also passed away about three years ago. He was the greatest man I ever knew. He taught me moral values, he supported all that I have done and one of my fondest memories is of him teaching me how to play baseball. We had many father and son talks while doing this. We played baseball or at least played catch even in my adult years. I miss you...dad...soooo much
