Tell me about your father
Lmao there was a thread on /co/ about this for whatever reason and I ended up liking my post even if the thread got baleeted. Saving for future reference.
My dad's a strong, silent sort of guy for the most part, though I'm pretty sure goofiness just runs in the family, and he definitely isn't exempt from that at times. His interests vastly differ from the rest of the family, which can sometimes lead to conflict because it frustrates him when my sister and I don't do outdoorsy shit as much as I'm sure he'd like us to, but it never gets bad or leads to anything big. If there's anyone I want to make proud in my family, it's my dad, because I know he's had a really hard life and has given up far too much of his own comfort for the sake of his family. With all the sacrifices he's made for us to live as comfortably as we do now, the least I can do is to give him a peace of mind by not screwing up.
He's also kind of a badass in that he's nearing 60 and still runs marathons like a boss. I don't know how or why, but in the last couple of years of running, he seems to either match or beat his previous times. You'd think that as he gets older, this would get harder to do, but the only time I've seen him really struggle was a couple of years ago. Everything after that seemed to be pretty smooth sailing.
He's a great guy and I couldn't ask for a better cornerstone of strength for the entire family. The man is pure concrete and steel.
