A very well-written story about what your father/dad meant to you through your life. A dad who stands by you in any circumstances good or bad and never judge you when you are wrong, but rather show you the right way.

What a beautiful story Brett. I love these feel good stories. Sounds like you had a hard and interesting young life. Your Dad sounded like a great man. Thanks for sharing.

You -penned a nice self biography honoring a dad you never had.
I like how he pushed you along and asked if you want a friend or a dad?
Mine was a Naval Chief lost in his career and a bottle of booze.
God took him in '72.
'I have two step daughters and they went the other direction calling me Richard.
Their real dad died of pancreatic cancer a few years back but they are well grown being 70's child.
Thanks,
Ricky

This was a most befitting tribute to this man, who became your Dad. I was touched.

A path I quickly learned to navigate, knowing full well what the consequences of allowing my misdeeds to deviate me off the trail of were. ~ this sentence is a bit convoluted and you probably need to rewrite it differently.

Eleven years, that's how long you have been gone, Dad. It might as well have been yesterday. Although I know that we will be together again some day, another lesson you taught me, I love you, Dad, and miss you more with each passing day.
~ I join you in this, and I'm sure your Dad had the biggest grin, wherever he is.
