Your post really touched me; it makes me miss my dad dearly.

How We See Dad Over Time

• 5 years old – Dad knows everything!
• 7 years old – Dad knows a lot.
• 10 years old – Maybe Dad doesn’t know everything?
• 12 years old – Hmm… Dad might be wrong sometimes.
• 14 years old – Dad doesn’t get it.
• 16 years old – I can’t always take Dad seriously.
• 18 years old – What does Dad even know?
• 22 years old – Dad’s opinions feel outdated.
• 24 years old – I think I know more than Dad!
• 26 years old – Okay… Dad has some good points.
• 30 years old – Maybe I should ask Dad about this.
• 40 years old – How did Dad handle all of this so well?
• 45 years old – Turns out Dad was right about a lot.
• 50 years old – I wish I could still ask Dad — there’s so much I’d love to learn.
