My Father
There is many changes of looks when people age, but very often we remember them as they used to be. Thinking about my father, I see him as he was when I was a little girl growing up. He was a strong, hard worker, confident, and attractive men. Many times I remember him getting ready to work while I was growing up, but I usually think of him with his lovely Sunday tuxedo. He had short wavy, dark brown hair and dark hazel eyes. His face was a slightly rectangle oval, which made him look both gentle and strong. He had high, wide big eyebrows and a triangular, slightly turned up nose. I used to sit on his lap to cuddle against his chin and I loved the feeling of his rough face due to his facial hair. He was a tall man, about five feet nine inches; he was slim and graceful man. His eyes and smile also radiated pride and respect in all aspects. His motivation of life was his family and to continue to work to provide us the best that many things that he could not have.

His famous words “You can do anything you set your mind too and don’t give up” are one of the reasons that me and my brother always try our best and even making many mistakes through our lives those words always stands up to us. He was a great father who paid attention to his children, even being far away from us. He taught us important skills, and encouraged us to be great by his commanding voice and his own example. Like many men, his health has been deteriorating and age has taken over his youth. His strength and voice of command is going away with the passing of time. Now I’m the one there to remind him that he can do anything he sets into his mind to do and not to give up. Every single time I see my father, I still see the young, strong, and hardworking man grew up admiringup admiring and adoring even from the distance.
