Mostly Yes.
Despite everything he had to deal with regarding my mother, he never left the home. After being addicted to crack for 20 years, he kicked the habit and our relationship is much better as a result. Even though at 48 he's still getting himself together, I'm proud he's come this far and he can only go up from here.
Now if he can only leave these loose ass women alone!

yes i do
I have nothing but the up most respect for my father as a man and a provider.
I wish I had a better relationship with him. I really don't know too much about him (I don't know why, but I've never been comfortable talking to him and he has never been too open about what he been through). It's weird because I feel like i should try to build a rapport with him, but I don't know how to approach it without feeling awkward about it.

Yup. Talked to him for an hour about two days ago. Always has good advice. Its weird, you never want to listen to your dad growing up but you realize at a certain age that he was right about a lot of shyt. Guess I had to figure it out by myself. 
My Father is the one man who I respect above ALL.
When I was born premature and they thought I was gonna die. My Father believed
When I was in elementary school and the teachers said I had ADHD and needed to be put on Ritalin. My father went up to that school, curse the principal out and told them they'd better NEVER ever THINK about giving me and medication..Because he believed
When my sister was being threatened with getting kicked out of College cause she couldn't afford tuition, my father found a way to come up with the cash...Because he believed
Any and every situation that any of his children have been in and the stacks were against us, he was the only one who believed in us 100%. My father taught me how to read, taught me hygiene, taught me the responsibilities of being a man, taught be NOT to follow my dikk, taught me HOW to follow my head. Kept the food on the table and the lights on. My Father sacrificed anything so that his family could have everything. My father is a hero...

Yes and he's been dead for 15 years.
Dude was the breadwinner for the family and knew he was going to pass away so he invested a lot of money in savings and put it in my family's names. He really taught me how to put family first. Even though we weren't tight due to his workload and being away a lot when he was in the Air Force. I credit being humble yet not taking any shyt from my father.

I never really truly did as much as I should have until last year. I live in Cincinnati, but I've only lived here for some 6-7 years. Because of my dads occupation, he frequently changes jobs and moves around, so I've never lived in a place for more than like 6 years my whole life. My dad was actually born and raised in Cincy, but my parents left my ass here and moved away like 2 yrs or so ago. He came to visit because he was speaking at some seminar or something in town, and it was mad random, but he wanted me to go with him to visit the area where he used to live and grew up in.
Brehs, this dude was so fukking poor. The apartments and the neighborhood he used to stay at is actually down the road from where I live now. He showed me the apartments him and his 5 brothers and sisters lived in, and I would have struggled trying to live in that bish myself. Showed my the busted ass school that I've somehow never seen before like right down the road. They closed that shyt down. But it was crazy how far this dude has come from where he was born. Them streets could have ate him alive, but he prevailed.
So yeah. I've always loved him. He's been pretty hard on me my whole life, but it's because he's worked so hard to give me all the shyt he never had. And it ain't like he speaks like a square or anything either. He's a cool ass smooth nikka, and will forever be my dude. Just a respectable ass man

YEET
As a man yes, as a father no. He never did anything for me, so my Grandfather stepped in and did the things he was supposed to do.

PLEASE DO IT ASAP!!! I'd do just about anything to have one minute to speak w/my father again. My father passed away when I was 14 years old in the 8th grade which was critical since that's the age we're gearing up to enter high school and what not. I miss em like crazy. Take advantage of the time you have with him and just talk with him.
