My dad's my hero.

I love my dad to bits but he is of a different generation where feelings are not spoken of and are repressed as someone else has said seems football is one of the only things we can enjoy together. In fact part of me thinks the love i feel for my team is a manifestation of my Love for my dad and his side of the family who i rarely see. (though thats possibly another story)
I do wish we could have a closer relationship and this has improved somewhat since i made him a grandad and hopefully this will continue to improve.

My father is exactly the same, brought up by very conservative parents and it shows.
He is a great man with a lot of love in his heart he just struggles to show it as i see it makes him uncomfortable.
Give him a few chemicals and some double carbon bonds and he is happy as a pig in shit.
We both love footy but he is a rag, he is pleased for me though knowing all the crap i put up with at school etc.
It is our common bond and i love him dearly.
I wish we could talk more and do stuff together as i know he will go one day and i feel we have not done enough together.
He has been the only stabilizing influence in my life and taught me to be a good person and to trust in what is real aka science.
