My dad came out to the yard and didn't say a word to the other kid. He just walked up to me and started teaching me how to throw a punch. The kid slowly backed away and didn't bother me again. In hindsight, it strikes me as a great balance between showing me when to stand up for myself, and not actually resorting to unnecessary violence.

I have a lot of good memories of him, but some of my favorite moments are staying up late when my husband and I visit my parents (my mom and stepdad) and he and I watch all the horror movies that we love including the classics and the cheesy ones.

For me, I have many memorable moments. My favorite ones would be him coming home early from work, me crawling into bed next to him, and having these long and deep conversations with him. We would talk about anything and everything. I loved these moments.

Yes! My father was my best friend going up. We were always so competitive and playful with each other. That's why I always feel bad for children who don't grow up with a father figure (don't have to be biological to be a dad). Fathers help make childhood and life so much more rich.Wasif Ahmed wrote:There are many for me. A father is like a friend who teaches us to do things like a caring friend would.

It is rough without having a father figure. The new show called This is Us sort of handles that entire topic really well for a guy who grew up with an amazing father but needed a little bit extra to really help him become stronger.Amagine wrote:Yes!
