4 out of 5

Briefly describe the relationship with your father.

It was a love and anger relationship. I loved my dad very much but he did not know how to reciprocate in a way that always showed how he felt. Also, he was not always there but always did the best that he knew how. He was a strong personality and outgoing. He loved life and lived it to the fullest.

How has this shaped the relationship with your children?

My relationship with my father help to inform me in the way that I would raise my own children. I used his example to define the things that I would do from the things that I would not.

What do you enjoy the most about being a dad?

Being there for my children and helping them to grow into Young people.
