For better or worse, one’s relationship (or non-relationship as it may be) with their father is often a definining feature of one’s personality. As the years go on and I get older and wiser, the influence of my father has become impossible for me to deny. His mannerisms, the way he sneezes, and even many of the short phrases he uses in conversation, I see echo’s of in my own behavior. Lately, I’ve even been sporting a beard like my dad’s. Let’s just hope balding really does skip a generation. Here’s one that always reminds me of my dad.
