re: Tell Me About your Dad

My dad is my hero and I'm lucky that I get to work with him. Dude is the most honorable person I know. He's the kind of guy that would never ask you to do something he hasn't done himself.
He's not much of a partier nowadays, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he did all of the mischief I've done, he just claims his friends were the culprits with a smirk.
From the stories he's told me about he and his friends, I'm convinced my life to this point is a mirror image of his younger days

Best friend I have and best man I know. Excellent example of what a man is for all of his children. Not perfect by any means, but he was/is my hero and I try to live up to the example he set everyday.
It's funny how even at 29 years old and as big as him, he still looms like a giant in my mind.
Our relationship is in a different season now that I've got a wife and family of my own, but that doesn't mean it isn't as strong as ever.

I am to be a father in just over 3 months. I hope I can be half the dad he was to me.
My dad's dad was an alcoholic and beat my dad on occasion for no reason. I am lucky he is my dad.

Hard working, tough as nails, and smart as hell. Quick to anger, but just as quick to forgive.
He died when I was 15, so he never got a chance to see me grow up.
I often wonder what he'd think of the man I've become, and if he'd be proud.
There isn't a day that goes by, even after 30 years, that I don't think about him at least once.

Died in 2019. Was hell on wheels but died in peace.

My Dad is a good man and father. He has his flaws like we all do, but he's been successful as a Dad. In the past, I've definitely found myself longing for a better relationship with him. But, the older I've gotten, I've just come to realize we're very different. So I guess I've come to accept the way things are between us. His father is even more different from me and he's basically a stranger to me. I definitely don't want my son to feel that way about my Dad. I'm not sure how I'm going to process it when that inevitable day comes when he's no longer here.

One of the hardest working men I know. Wish he wasn't so critical. It's been hard since we lost my younger brother 10 years ago. He told me it should have been me and I know it should have, I blame myself too, even if there was nothing I could have done. I know it came from a place of deep
Anguish and pain but it's loomed between us a decade now.
He's a good man and always provided for us. Allowed us to see things and go places a lot of people never got the chance to, but working all the time meant he missed out on a lot of our lives.

He died alone in prison a few months ago. After all the years of hating the man when I do think about him I just feel a very cruel sadness about it all.

I just want to make it clear to everyone that my dad is better than all of your dads. Y'all don't even know.
He has one of these to prove it...

Oldmanbeasley’s father was a drunk Canadian midget whose favorite hobby was getting hammered and then climbing a tree to smoke darts. Tragically his hobby would result in his death.

My dad is the kind of person I hope my son grows in to and my daughters look for in a partner. Just an all around good dude.

Currently 84 and dying slowly at home. Stage 4 Lung cancer, dementia and Alzheimer's. Never thought I would want him to die but I do....only to ease his suffering. I know I'll wish for one more day the second he goes. Hard worker, honest to a fault. Retired at 55, travelled the world with my mom after his hard worked paid off. Tough father who rarely said I love you(His generation). Came to most all of my games and practice(Hung out with his friends at the concession stand drinking beer).
Taught me what it means to be a man of my word, work hard everyday of my life and never look back.

I lost my Dad 13 months ago. He would have turned 90 this Sunday.
He was 100% my best friend, biggest supporter and my role model in every way. He found the good in every situation, deliberately choosing to be positive no matter what.
He was a navy vet who served in the Korean War. Great athlete in his day and loved his Hogs. I miss him every single day.

Point blank, he’s my hero. He’s tough as nails, I’ve never seen him cry. He’s killed more deer and ducks than anyone I’ve ever met. He keeps the same tone and tenor in his voice when we talk about sports whether LSU is winning 60 to 0 or losing 60 to 0. He takes more pride in the appearance of his home and camp than anyone I’ve ever met. Everyone who his has ever met is just absolutely is smitten with his personality. He’s the best

I am sorry about your dad. I think this is a wonderful idea. I am enjoying reading all these shared stories. I hope they are somehow a comfort to you.

He taught me to putt and hit from the rough. A selfless man who loves us unconditionally.

My dad is my best friend.
We just had lunch together and we talked about the things going well in our lives and where we want to improve. He reminded me that peace is to be my goal, not happiness. Happiness comes as a byproduct of peace which is obtained by helping others and living right.

Dad was a classic underachiever. He excelled in high school football and baseball without even trying, then went into the Navy as a radar operator during Vietnam. He came home, got a great job at Southwestern Bell in Dallas, then married my mentally-unstable mother and things went downhill from there.
He became an alcoholic in the 1980s, couldn't hold a job and never really tried to have a relationship with me. He finally drank himself to death in 2015 and, like a few others in here have said, I regret the fact that we didn't have a relationship or do "father and son" stuff.
