My father is everything. He is my father, he is my hero, he is my bestfriend, and he is my inspiration. If I one day am able to be half as strong as my father has been I will be happy because his strength is what pushes me to want to succeed. His perseverance drives me forward and his support makes me feel…
Humans now have the capability of living longer than ever due to recent technological advancements, along with medicinal research. However, the ultimate price paid for these advancements is the dissociation of one’s own spirituality. Our ways of connecting and reasoning with nature and spirituality has immensely changed. Joseph Campbell, author of The Power of Myth, says “But when you think what people are actually undergoing in our civilization, you realize it’s a very grim thing to be a modern human being.” In its face value, Campbell might have been bitterly analyzing humans and conditions in which many people around the world live in.…

One of the reasons that my dad is my hero is because when I had to go to the emergency room for my back he never left my side. He was the one that was willing to take me. He knew that I was in a lot of pain by the look on my face. When we got there he went in and had gotten me a wheel chair because I could not walk. Even though my back was fine, I felt better that he was there with me.…
Spirituality is a broad, complex term that can be difficult to define (Stevenson & Berry 2015). People's perceptions and understanding of spirituality can vary significantly from person to person. Some may associate spirituality with connection between the body, soul and mind (Narayanasamy, 2007), while others may identify the physical environment, past times or music as part of their spirituality (Paley, 2008). In palliative care, spirituality has been identified as key component in patient care (Puchalski 2012). Patients in this setting may explore the concept of spirituality to search for understanding in their lives or to instil faith, during these difficult times (Blaber et al. 2015).…
Moving away from home and being in college, I look back on my years at home with a little bit of sadness and tad bit of regret. I realize that I took my father for granted. When I would complain about how much homework a teacher had given me, I never once heard him complain about staying late after work. When I would complain about not having the latest outfit, I never once heard him complain about…
My Mom is a big part of my life not only for her great cooking but also the time that she will take to help me with homework when I need it. My dad on the other hand, has always been the greatest. My dad always loved being in the outdoors with me and my brother since we were very little. He still enjoys throwing us pitches in the batting cage just for fun or before our baseball games. He also taught me how to hunt which is now one of my favorite activities to do. My Dad has taught me to work hard at everything I do either playing ball or by doing a job for someone. I am very grateful to him that he raised me that way.…
When asked to make a short speech on my dad, my first thoughts were “NOOOOOOOO I do not want to do this!!!” But after I thought about things to talk about, it actually turned out that I had to choose what not to talk about! I am very lucky and have a dad who has and always will be there for me. He coached my baseball team when no one else could do it, he always has offered to take me to the batting cages and has spent several hours thinking about me and what he could do to make my life better.…
One thing that I am truly happy about my Dad is him giving us a dog. My mom doesn’t like dogs and she didn’t want us to have a dog because she think we can’t take care of it. My Dad still secretly told me and my brother of getting a small dog. We were excited and made sure to be prepare for the dogs arrival; my father personally let me see the dog first in hand. I was excited and now the dog been a whinny, spoiled, need attention, loving, and a crazy dog. I am thankful for Dad giving us a dog and go against my mother’s wishes for having a dog.…
My dad was extremely involved in my life especially when I was younger. I was a daddy’s girl one hundred percent growing up. My dad got me involved in all the sports I partook in. Encouraging me, giving me lessons, and helping me become better in any way he could. My mom was normally just there for moral support but my dad was the one to push me. He encouraged me to be good at anything I wanted to do. My dad played such a strong role in my life, and helped me become who I am today. The influences he forced on me created many of the interests I still have today. I feel as if I would be a different person if he weren’t there while I was growing up. To see the change that one person could have on you is deranged. She was involved in any sport…
Although I did not grow up with my father in my life I still had many more relatives to love and care for me, such as my mother, grandmother, grandfather, uncles, aunts, and many more family members. My family is who showed me everything that I know today and taught me how to be a true man. I could not repay my family even if I could, the love from my family is unconditional and will always stay in my…
He helped mold me into part of the man I am today. We were both interested in the same music, cars, activities and career choices, which helped keep us close. This also helped in my growth as a person, having someone you can confide in and help push you to a specific goal in life is all anyone could ask for, yes, my parents did that, but it always seemed better coming from him. After, all we have been through together he is one that helped set me on my path to my dream job, which I will forever be grateful for.…
Secondly, another reason why I admire my dad is his ability to admit his wrongs very easily and try to get others to balance him out. If my dad is unable to do something, he will let you know then and there, giving you enough time to make arrangements. People always say that it takes a man to admit wrong and since my dad is very good at doing this, I admire and respect him tremendously. Also, since he is very adamant on staying true to these values, he has always tried and instill these values into me, and for that reason I am thankful and appreciative as not everyone gets guidance like this.…

From my place I am thankful for everything he taught me. He taught me things that I need or was going to in life. I am what I am because of him and whatever I will achieve in my life will be credited to him. I believe that my dad will always be with me even after his soul leaves his body; he will be there through his teachings that I believe are my duty to pass on to my children. He will be…
