Someone I Value

Someone I value would be my dad. While I value everyone in my family, I decided to write this about my dad. I value my dad because he came into my life and my mother's life when he did not have to. He came into our lives when i was just two years old. He did not have to become a part of our family, I was not his. Even though he did not have to, he chose to anyways. I hold my dad highly and have a high amount of respect for him for doing this, because he did not just be a dad but he became my father. My mom tells me that he actually fell in love with me before her. When he met my mom he went out and bought toys for me to play with, when me and my mom went over to his apartment. From day one I have been his son, not any other man's son. When my mom would get child support checks he would tell her to buy want she wanted for herself, because he was not going to let someone else pay for His son. My dad is more than just a dad, he is a father to me. Anybody can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father. It takes a very special man to be a father to a child that, by blood is not his. Blood connection means nothing to me, who is there for you is what means something to me, and my father is here for me always and always will be. My father is a real man and I have an immaculate amount of respect for him. I love him and he loves me, blood truly means very little when someone claims a child who has already begun to grow up and takes on the responsibility of being that child's father.
