Thank you for sharing you and your dad's story with us, teachtek! Your dad sounds like an awesome dude, and from the picture the mustache serves as further evidence!
Having a rough childhood sucks. My parents divorced by the time I was five, and all of the most prominent memories I have from that time are unpleasant. Having a parent you can depend on is a life saver.
I hope you have an awesome time on steemit, and may gnarly waves come your way soon!
