A heavyset man who would go clobbering around in his boots and overalls, basically glaring at anyone who came around him, is what some people remember of my father. All his friends and family remember him as a man with too many jokes to tell. My father was very intimidating to people at first glance with his bulky 6’4’’ frame.

Although not everyone knows what it is like to actually be a father, almost everyone has a common notion what being one looks like in our culture. Fathers are always under pressure from themselves and society to balance their job and quality time with their family. It is (I notice how you use the passive voice a lot. You can fix…
