“The greatest thing a father can do for his daughter is to love her mother”. - Elaine S. Dalton. My father standing a staggering 6’3”, cleaned cut, dirty blond hair, the lightest of blue eyes, all-American, wearing plain jeans and t-shirts, family man, dog lover, and master chef. Many men just like my father do not show his feelings much to other people; however he is a big softy in my eyes. My father has a heart of gold and inspires me to become the great person he is one day.

My father was born on April 24th of 1967 to Larry and Janet Elkins. At the young age of 14 my father’s family was struggling and he had to work until early hours in the morning washing dishes on school nights, even then my father had tried his best to

He has been to hell and back and still manages to be a good person every day, and that is something that I want; to be able to face my worst day as it is my best and continue to the next. The worst thing a daughter can see is her father crying and the worst thing a father can see is his daughter crying, but crying is something everyone does it helps relieve the built up emotions you have inside, that is something my dad has taught me; that is okay to cry every once and a while.

Funny, outgoing, grill master, football fanatic, great dad, loving friend, caring husband, are just a few ways I can describe my dad, he is a lover not a fighter and always tries to do what is best. The past few months have been pretty hard not having my dad around as often as some people have theirs, the saying “daddy’s little girl” is quite true in my family, my dad is everything to me, he has been there for me when everyone else wasn’t, he has reached rock bottom, but still manages to smile every day, he is truly a great person and sure some people don’t do the right thing but they should always be forgiven because it is not our place to judge other people.

Overall my father is an amazing husband, dad, son, and friend to many people. My life may not be perfect but in my eyes I do have a perfect

His humility shows especially in times when he puts our needs before his and devotes his time to helping us solve our problems and needs before he even begins to think about himself. Spending countless hours, my dad works everyday to insure we receive a quality education. Not only this but he also takes time off to come and watch our sports events and competitions, showing true humility and compassion towards his family.…

    My personal Michigan hero is my father. For this essay I chose my father because all my life I have looked up to him, even when I was too young to realize it, because my dad has guided me through life, teaching me valuable life lessons and will always be there for me and my family. My dad has changed so much in his life for my brother and I, spent hours for a day for years raising us to be the people we are today and I could never repay that. At a young age my father’s parents divorced, and he did not see his real father often because he was in the Coast Guard. He then vowed at a young age, and then to his future wife(my mother) that he would never divorce and do that if he had children.…

    There was only one word on my mind and it was DAD. I screamed hysterically and cried in the bathroom, screaming for my dad. Nothing was the same if he did not come to my birthday. If you had asked my mother, she would have described me as a gnat. I was constantly asking her every few minutes, when my dad was going to be there.…

    I decided to write about my relationship with my dad in this post because Father’s Day just passed and because I’ve already made a post about the incredible bond I have with my dad. In that post I mentioned that he was away in Korea when I was born and I didn’t get to see him until I was 7 months old. My mother, who was only 22 at the time, had a lot of responsibility taking care of the three of us who were all under 3 years old. When my dad came home he took over the caregiving duties for me completely because he wanted to make sure he bonded with me. There was a solid attachment built between the two of us at that time that has been tested over time but never frayed.…

    My dad has always been my hero and helped me learn mostly everything I know. He taught me self-defense which helps him sleep and night. He taught me to never change for some guy and always be myself. Being the only girl with three brothers, I’ll always be his favorite little girl, and I know he would never want anything to happen to me. Being a daddy’s girls still to this day is what’s most important, but sometimes I wish like he trusted me a little more to know right from wrong.…

    Growing Up in a Broken Home and What it Has Taught Me Growing up I had typical childhood experiences, but unlike some of you I grew up in a broken home. Many people would say I got the short end of the stick; however, I believe it has in some ways made me a better person. It was not because of the broken home, tons of other people grew up that way, it was the completely opposite lifestyles I observed in both homes that changed me. It has taught me many life lessons, including the fact that a man does not have to be your father to be a dad.…
