Day Eighteen: Who is your favorite family member? Why?
My father is my favorite family member. He was always a solid figure in my life, a stable man with good values and a great sense of reality and real life. He is full of common sense and loves reading despite quitting school by the 8th grade. He has worked hard for his family his entire life and loves us fiercely. He does not judge me regardless of my actions. He is my best friend, my daddy and my life-line.
My father never stopped me from living life, never allowed himself to be stopped from enjoying life. He came from a family with 7 kids- he is the middle child. His father died when my dad was just a young teen- about 14 I believe. He quit school and helped take care of his younger siblings. His mother ran away during the night shortly after, leaving behind 7 children ages; 17, 16, 15, 14, 2, 1, and a newborn. My father worked hard to support his siblings along with one older brother while his older sisters took care of the babies of the family and hid their mother’s disappearance from everyone around them. It worked, and they remained a family. For reasons unknown to me, his siblings parted ways eventually and he has no contact with his living siblings. He did keep in contact with his one older sister but she passed away several years ago. Her children and grandchildren are the only ones we know as family.
My father is strength, wisdom, reality, love, solidarity, trust, determination and humor.
