What did your father teach you?

* He taught me the importance of always being a lady and respecting myself.

* How to be financially independent.

*Being able to admit when I am wrong.

* Understanding that I am responsible for my own happiness and not a man. A man should complement my life and not be my whole life.

* How to fix some electronic items.

*The importance of traveling and experiencing new things.

*The ability to be strong and focused in a crisis.

* How to love unconditionally.

*Always finding a sense of humor in life and laughing at least once a day.

*The importance of being physically fit and healthy.

*Having the grace to forgive and never hold a grudge.

*How to maintain a peaceful life and avoid miserable & potentially destructive individuals.

*Appreciating all my blessings everyday and never taking anything for granted.

Always make sure your bills are paid before you spend all of your money.

How to re wire a plug.

How not to become an addict like him.

Finally, how if you are having problems with your mental health, how important it is to seek proper medical help and to tell your family about it.My Dad left this world without saying goodbye or telling any of us he was going.I miss him so, so much.

So if you are lucky enough to have a Dad please please keep him close to you.

To never let a man - any man even himself - play me

To stand my ground

To know that I am a valuable woman and that I deserve the best

To not need him and live my life despite him no longer being in it

My trifling father made me strong and independent.
