STPs: What type is your father?
My Father is an ESTJ Type- A Hostile Retired Army Colonel.
And did you admire him for anything?
My Father is an icon to me.
I admire him more than any man in this life.
He taught me right from wrong.
He taught me to be fair.
He taught me to be fierce, yet he taught me when to have mercy.
He taught me how to reason.
He taught me to how to be self sufficient.
He taught me how to have the courage to make choices, and how to be accountable for them.
He taught me how to recover my life after I had fucked it up.
He taught me all these things by leading by example.
He is a warrior, a scholar, an officer, and a gentleman.
I am honored to be his son.
If my life amounts to half of what he has accomplished I will be beside myself in joy.
The day he told me that he was proud of me was the happiest day of my life.
I will carry his ways and teachings forth into this world long after he is gone, though my own life's work, through my childrens' beliefs in living as he encouraged them to, and by passing his wisdom to those I help along the way.
