re: Tell Me About your Dad

He was awesome. I couldn’t have asked for more. He definitely had fatherhood figured out. He taught me to be tough and work hard without ever losing his patience. He somehow spoiled me with time and guidance without hovering over me like a helicopter parent. He knew when to be harsh and when to comfort. It was devastating when he died when I was 15, but I made it through it relatively ok over time. I’m sure I would’ve done worse without all of the influence he already had in my life at that point.
