Fathers

[Dan1089]

Because of the apartheid and general fucked upness of SA at that time,I only got to really know my Pa when I was about 7 or 8.He took to fatherhood like a fish to water and just like that,we were the perfect nuclear family.My dad is a "fun" dad and lets us get away with murder.He respects me,my feelings and opinions...used to call us "young Sirs".Always a friend when you need one or when I just need to vent.What built this bond for me is just seeing how amazed by my bro & me.Learning new things about him,watching the cricket,helping him with his work,all these things we've done with him...very special times.My fondest memory of him was when my brother and I had to teach him Afrikaans,that was the best.He's is very easygoing but he's a perfectionist,a trait he doesnt impose but we've inherited.He's the good guy.Sounds crazy but my dad has never raised his hand or voice to me or anyone in fact,always a perfect gentleman .If it wasnt for my Ma,I'd probably have come out to him by now.Love my old timer!
