Fathers Day

I know this is a couple days early but whatever.
Time to get a little more personal now;

Well I didnt have my father growing up. I am the middle child of three. So he left when my little sister was born around 1990. He didnt just leave us and never heard from him again.. But he left us for another family and I guess i have half-siblings that I have never met before. Every now and then he would come visit me and my brother and sister and try to take us out and buy us things. When I was about maybe 13 years old he only started coming around Christmas time and gave us all money and then he would tell us he would be back in a couple days, but he wouldnt show up.. It was like that for a couple years until he just stopped coming around.. He stopped coming around when I was about 16.

But the good thing is since he wasnt there, I still have plenty of uncles and also my grandfather around to look after me. My grandfather was basically that father-figure in my life. I grew up in a home with my older brother, little sister, mother, grandparents, and two uncles. All of them put some kind of effort to raise me into the person I am today. So for that I thank every single one of them.

So if you never had that father-figure in your life, be atleast thankful for the people that were around you when you were growing up.
