" Any man can be a father but it takes a SPECIAL to be a DAD! "
The above statement is what I truly can relate to as my dad, who is no longer among us, is someone who was this special DAD! What made him that was that he wasn't my biological father though bounded by blood as he was my grandfather a gentleman and kind-hearted man and raised me and his children in absence of another wife when his wife, my grandma died of a heart-disease at a the young age of 42. He didn't dare to bring another woman as he wasn't sure we would be treated well!
"[He] adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector.
