Describe A Man Who Impacted My Life

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

My father an old retired marine, that was set in his ways. But he played a profound figure in my life. He shaped my life and left a lasting impact on my life.

My father‘s guidance and his presence was irreplaceable. He created a strong foundation in my life. After he found out how my mother treated me, after I spent over 3 months in the hospital recovering from hot oil burns over 60 % of my body and malnutrition. He stepped up to the plate and guarded me for adversity, both physical and emotional.

His innate instinct was to prioritize my safety and well-being. He taught me many things and comforted me in times of fear and distress.

He taught me to hunt, and fish, He was my teacher, my mentor, and my emotional anchor. I know I would have made it through the abuse, without my father being a strong figure in my life.

I was his caregiver for 10 years. In that time we grew closer than ever. I wanted my Dad around forever. He was my solid for many years. After he passed it took me 6 years to even go through his things. But one thing I knew was that a had to start growing up after he left the world. Because he was my support system for many years and it was very hard to suddenly be without that. I still hear his voice while I do things. When I bought my last vehicle I could hear him saying, look at the tires, look under the hood, check to see if there a good spare tire. Find out if it has had regular services. Even though he has passed away. He is still alive and well in my heart.
