The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.

Why'd It Take Me So Long To See?
We all change as we get older. Yet we all have core values and personality traits that define us from early in life. My dad is a good man. One of the best I ever met. And he’s always been that way. That hasn’t changed, and it never will.

Me and my dad had really hard times. Especially understanding eachother. Sometimes I think me and my dad are so similar we clash sometimes . But this is a story of the times I’ll never forget . My dad took me to do lots of fun things . We went to concerts and wrestling matches. He would braid my hair and paint my nails when I was younger. I remember the times in Florida when we’d come to Universal and me and my Brett never wanted to leave. But the moment I remember the most is when I got into a car accident . I will never forget the moment I saw my dad cry. The moments I always treasure are when we watched Disney movies on the couch at my grandmas. And on Christmas morning I’d wake up with everything you could ever think of . He doesn’t have the best temper . Or talk very well to people either . But there is a very special type of warmth in his heart.

I remember a day when my friends were over during the summer. My father was outside doing the work I said I would help with. scratch that... Actually, it was the work We said we would help with. I'm sure my dad was furious as we had not been working too well. We spent most of our time talking and something that should have taken a few hours, had probably taken us half the day. I do apologize for that.

I don’t know what it means to be a dad, but I know what it means to have one. It’s picking you up off the ground with a skinned knee and helping you back up onto the bike. It’s helping you with math homework when you just can’t get it. It’s those stern talks when you make bad choices. It’s all the little things and more.

Daddy, I don't know how you did it blind and raising thirteen of us. I know we didn't make your life all that easy at times, and I know you hate showing your pain and struggle to people. I know you've made a lot of sacrifices for us -- your children.
Irene MielkePublished 2 years ago in FamiliesA father sets the bar high for his daughter in everything.
Happy Father's Day to my Father! Thank you for being my advisor and never allowing me to settle in a marriage for less than the man you know is for me. Thank you for raising me to be choosy in a man. You and my mother always taught me to be a strong independent woman.
Irene MielkePublished 2 years ago in FamiliesWHERE I GOT MY PASSION FOR TRAVEL
Born December 8, 1918, in Bauxite, Arkansas, my father, Morgan Livemore Knight, has been the most decisive influence on my passion for travel.

In Stigma, Erving Goffman observes that “in an important sense there is only one complete unblushing male in America: a young, married, white, urban, northern, heterosexual Protestant father of college education, fully employed, of good complexion, weight and height and a recent record in sports.” That was never my father. However, I would argue that my father was a man in all the ways that matter.
June A DemusPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesTale of the Tache
I love my dad, also known as Tache and Grandad Tache. You won't be surprised to learn that this is because of his long-adorned moustache, a facial feature which has become so much part of his identity that it has also become the name by which all of my family - me, my husband and my two boys - call him. Despite being encouraged to shave it off, by my mother mainly, he has stubbornly held onto this facial hair statement, in spite of its bristly-ness and the idea that he would look better without it.

"What is the most deadly mass-produced weapon in the world today?" He asks the question like it's a totally reasonable way to kick off a seminal rite of passage, one I've been nervous about for months. I take a stab and go for the obvious.

There are many things parents go through with their children, but the horrors of potty training can be truly traumatizing.
