The Mentoring Father

I had a mixed feeling growing up with my father. He was tough and that was pretty obvious to everyone around but I was to find out later that it is called tough love.

For the next ten years after losing him, I could not get over him and I don't think I have. I realized how precious he was and all the lessons I learnt from him started coming back. I became a father and wanted his counsel but he wasn't there anymore. I wanted to deal with life and wanted him to show me how to deal with life but he was gone!

He left many lessons and to the best of my memory, I tried to bring together all the lessons I saw him teaching others and the ones he taught me.
