The Mechanical Man
My Father. As I affectionately like to call him. He is a man full of knowledge and one of the least awkward engineers I know. Some of the things he taught me were math, how to change my oil, and to think through things because something might have a different solution then the normal way of doings things.

A Father's Influence
There is a fundamental truth about our lives that remains constant: we are all shaped by a collection of influences and experiences. Among these influences, the role that our parents or significant figures play in our character formation is pivotal. I am a testament to this truth, as the person I am today is profoundly influenced by the life and lessons of my father. The compass of his teachings – honesty, integrity, sincerity, faith, determination, patience, familial love, and the spirit to never give up – has become the guiding principle of my life.

My Daddy
My daddy taught me a lot about life and most of the time I never even knew he was teaching me. He always had time to answer questions that I had to ask, never stopping to say they were stupid. He made sure I knew how to do the things I needed to do to have a normal childhood. Even though my parents were divorced, he was always just a message away if I needed him for any reason. My daddy will always be my first hero and teacher.

New path
In the realm of fatherhood, the echoes of my childhood resonate into my rearing of two boys, unveiling a narrative of tumultuous experiences, deep scars, and an unwavering commitment to rear my children different from how I was taught.

My Father
I was very fortunate to have such a great father. My childhood wasn’t perfect, but I do know that I had all the love in the world. The early years were filled with fun and games with my dad. We watched our favorite shows together which taught me to have a love for fantasy and science fiction. I wasn’t overly into sports, like my dad was, but we still bet on games. When my team won, I got to go to Chuck E. Cheese and when his did, I had to give him a foot rub. Thankfully the vikings weren’t doing too good those years.

List Dad
My dad is a big fan of lists. He’s the kind of guy who researches the best method, weighs the pros and cons, and sticks to the recipe. He is not one to go about a task willy-nilly.

All that Jazz
Every move you make to forge your own path is blocked. What is the role of a parent. To help your children to rise above. Both of my parents had secrets which they did not share with their friends. As a family I thought it was my duty not to share those secrets. The lies they were living. I was shocked when I moved to North Carolina to find people I didn't know, knew all about my dirty laundry. When I made friends, I kept them miles from my family. The few times I brought friends to their house, I learned that my job would not be mentioned, but the roaches in my apartment would be. The new dress I had bought with my earned money, would be qualified with a mention of the sneakers they bought me. I learned that I had to create a network of friends away from my family. Which is really the way it should be anyway. Children are supposed to have a support system separate from their family.

Me and My Dad
I was really glad to see Vocal put out a challenge to do with Father's Day. While it is a universal truth that women and mothers tend to shoulder the bulk of the caregiving, it's also important to acknowledge those Dads who do step up and take an active role in their children's lives.
