appreciation

I appreciate my dad because he relentlessly taught me not to care about money or material things

in my 20s I resented it a bit, because life hit and I was like "wait wtf man I need money to live why didn't you tell me to maximize how much money I can earn, I can't get by on hippie vibes"

but I think there's wisdom in that because of how brutally life teaches you money matters

while it's not as obvious that the small things in life are priceless 

he focused on teaching me the harder lesson

Fathers are actually the best IMO, they show you tough love that's hard to understand at the moment, you might even resent them for it, but you'll appreciate the lessons later in the future. 

To all the dads and intending dads out there, y'all are the best. Sadly mine left too soon.

We are same. Even in death, I cant love him less. I love you daddy

May God forgive his transgressions and respect his soul in peace
