My biological father was not at all my male figure, because he was never my father in my eyes for me he is the one the half of my DNA is his and that is pretty much all we share. My father in my eyes was my mother's father which in technical terms would be my grandfather. For me, he will always be my father. He loved me and protected me above anything else. My dad would pay for my field trips and he would chaperone my field trips with me. He would pay for my dance lessons and wait for me while I took my dance lessons. We would go to the movies to see action movies which that create it my love for oldies action movies. While my dad and I didn't always see eye to eye (because there was a generational gap) I always managed to respect his ideas and thoughts. I know that all he said to me was for my welfare. When I fell out of the figurative horse and everybody else said she won't get back on that horse, my dad believed in me and said you get back on that horse and prove to yourself that you are able to ride that horse and beyond. He didn't lose faith in me like other's would. He always stood right next to me and said you can do this sweetheart and don't listen to anyone else, believe in yourself. Thank you Dad for loving me the way you did, because you always made me feel important and loved. My dad has been my light through my good times as well as my dark times. Thank you Dad for helping me, believing in me, and guiding me. I will miss you every single day of my life, but I know that you are no longer suffering and your are with my mom and my uncle up in heaven watching down on us. It definitely was hard to see you go, but I can not be selfish to keep here with me knowing you were in pain.
