    Strangely..... I'm my father's first born and only daughter..... we don't have much of a bond. I'm 15 years old
    Other's say I look like my father...I look like my mom😅....
    My father tells and brags to his friends and colleagues about how hard I work in school. How intelligent and good I am. How proud he is that I'm not like other teen girls my age...
    ... he tells them... he laughs with them....
    Butwhen he comes home he is just quiet...silent. I don't know much about him.... bc we don't share a strong bond. But it does hurt when a stranger has seen my father smile and laugh and happy more than his own daughter....

    This brought tears to my eyes and I’m not exactly sure why, but something about this just struck my core

    Alzheimer’s will soon take me out my Fathers memory. He is a great man. He Achieved things he wasn’t supposed to. But his achievements didn’t include being a faithful husband. I am my father in many ways. I followed so many of his footsteps. But I won’t let myself make the same mistakes he made. I’ll love my wife and child and do everything I can to keep our family whole. I love my Father, for all his lessons, good and bad, but mostly I just love my Father and hope he never forgets. But when he does it’s ok. I’ll remember for the both of us.

    I love this poem but the end when you say my father was 2 men I only loved one but both are gone now,
    hit me the most because that is how I feel with my dad and he is gone also
