As the years pass by ~
He appears out of nowhere~
I am my father
I have reached that moment in my life, that realization that I am my father. I am the man I am because of my father’s influence and how he raised my brother and I. We are not exact duplicates, but I see him in me. And I am okay with that! Thanks Dad!
