My father is someone who has been there for me my whole life. He is one of the few people I can count on. There was never a time he hasn’t been there for me. NO matter what it is he supports me. Whether it’s sports, social life, or education it doesn’t matter.

As far as sports my father has supported me in bowling in a league for ten years. He’ll come and coach me or cheer me on.

My dad was an overprotective parent while I was growing up so I never really had a social life. He was just a parent learning to let go. He always told I ever get in trouble I could go to him. "There nothing I haven’t done already" he says. He is letting me learn form my own mistakes.

I’m not the brightest student in school and he knows that. He only wants me to try. He says he only made it through school because of sports and he wants me to be better than that. He harps on me about my grades to keep me in line. It’s how he supports me to get a good education.

My father and I haven’t been able to go out lately. We used to go out camping, baseball games, or even just throw the ball. We never do anything anymore he says we can’t afford it. Whether we go out or not doesn’t matter. It is more that we spend time together. He is, and always will be my father and I love him unconditionally. He is my best bud. He may not be everyone else’s ideal dad, but I love him just the way he is.
