~:[CH8 - Day 167]:~ The Love of a Father

It's funny how time passes by. One day, you're like this and then another, you've become a grown adult. Even so, I still yearn for the embraces of my parents years later. My father was stern growing up as I would make sure not to do wrong and upset him. However, as I grew older, I continued to see more of his love and concern and all that he did for us. I've learned so much from him over the years and for our family, he always does so much. With today being Father's Day and tomorrow being his birthday, it's a double celebration of the man who helped me become the person I am today. I grew up learning a wide-range of skills and crafts and while some days I realize I'm not the best at what I do, I have found it useful to have a range of abilities. As he moves past his mid-70s, I am still amazed at how he is still active on the golf course and is always working around the house, doing so many things that even someone my age would be unable to do physically. To hear him complain at the calls on the television to see how meticulous he is about staying on top of his shows, are definitely parts of what make him into the person I love so much. Thank you for all that you do and while I celebrated with you before I left, I cannot wait to return home so we can celebrate again.
