My mother was dead when I was a baby due to serious accident ,so most of the time was my grandfather taking care of me .I can’t really remember how was my mother really looks like, but I will never forget my grandfather’s adorable face. He looked like Elvis Presley which has a bold hair, long legs and sparkling eyes.

When he saw I was sad about this, he come to convince me and said: “Son, don’t give up, there’s always fail before you success.

    There are few relationships in my life that could compare to the complexity of the relationship that I share with my father. I grew up hearing stories of his childhood when he grew up in a military family with eleven brothers and sisters, moving from state to state in the deep humid south. I grew up idolizing him because of the crazy wacky adventures that he and his older brother (his best friend) would always be involved in. I always pictured myself in his brother’s shoes living the memories along with my father. He lived in a time where kids could run out of the house in the morning and not have to return until the moon rises, a time of peace and simplicity. In retrospect I think my dad and his brother must have the worst neighbors as they terrorized the banks of the bayous getting wrapped up into all sorts of mischief. In his stories he was presented with several choices, some good, some bad, he didn’t always make the best decisions but he always learned from them and engraved in me the importance of learning from my mistakes, a character trait that was deeply seeded into me since the day I could comprehend English. The reason that my fathers’ life lessons have stuck with me so well is because he doesn’t preach to me about good and bad, he lets me live my life and is always there to help me when I screw up allowing me to live and learn. The lessons that are most important in life are the ones you learn from your mistakes, something that my dad taught me and I’d never forget.…

    He had a private conversation with me one day and he began by saying thank you. He continued by apologizing, for several months he kept a secret from me. His mother was diagnosed with cancer and it had tremendous affect on his daily life. He was never able to find the words to tell me what was occurring, but he was grateful that I never left him alone.

He finished by saying, “you’re the most important person in my life and without you I don’t know where I would be, thank you for being my…

    My Dad, the lover, the tough guy, always loves to hang out with my brother and I.

    My father and I worked side by side doing hard labor. In the beginning I was afraid of asking the SS guards to keep my father and me together. When my father felt like giving up, I always pushed him to try harder, and he always tried. Years later, my father started to get really sick; he got older and weaker. I always gave him my food and water. I think I was in denial that my father was dying right before my eyes. I sometimes thought of giving up myself, but I knew I had to keep trying for him. When he died, I realized that he was a great man.…

    At first we did not get along at all, but he never gave up on me. He was always there making sure I was making the right decisions and teaching me every painful lesson for making the wrong decision. I remember when I was 14 and I sort of ran away, but eventually got hungry and started riding my bike home. I got about half way there and sure enough he pulled up alongside me in the truck and all he said was “I’ll be waiting for you at home boy”. With only about 2 miles left it took me about 1 hour and a half. When I finally got there he knocked me off my bike and started teaching in his own way. This is by far…

    Everyone has some special memories, like Larry Watson, in his essay “Silence,” reveals “all of us grieve, at some time in our lives, for our lost childhood, but in the sameness of all the days of past only the usual day, the day different from all the other days, is likely to stand out in memory. And for me, the day my father stole me is the day I remember best” (P111). It makes me recall the day I had unforgettable experiences that produced a profound impression on me. The special day I went through told me that love always exists. As well, after reading Larry Watson’s article “Silence,” I found the true love between the father and the son, even though the father left the blank impression on the son’s childhood because…
