Honesty. Not mincing words. Punctuality. Generosity. Importance of education. Being always there for others. Happy to see others succeed. Accepting others irrespective of tribe/creed/religion.

Sure not all these things are wise in modern times. In fact honesty towards others can create problems.

But........at some point those who hate your honesty will come calling on you to use your honesty to defend them. Happens to dad a lot. grin cheesy

God nor dey sleep.

Maybe all these attributes & certainly God's grace have kept dad going.....living a long life. And more years of healthy life. Amen.

Learnt all this ;

•Independence... Never rely on anyone for handouts.

•Be mindful when your friends come in droves...You only have 'friends' when the money's rolling in.

•Don't trust anyone....You've got your own back.

•Life is a blank book and you're the writer. You choose your own path.

Happy father's day to my daddy.
I learnt not to be in a hurry in life especially when making decisions that affect the future.

I learnt also to plan and work for anything you want and watch it come to pass. DETERMINATION

My daddy also showed example of how a father should provide for the family.
God bless our fathers.
Lovely, Judging from ur diary of ur big day, u re a good writer. Just keep it up. U wil be a good novelist.

The bolded does not mean shit. People marry from their tribe and die within a short space of time too. What should we call that? Your dad was a bigot. It is difficult to believe but he is what he is. Embrace it!!!


emusmithy:
His polygamous setup taught NEVER to entertain the thought.
It makes me so careful when choosing whom to date, so I can stick with just one.
He told us never to marry from a particular tribe.
Our eldest son did and he died in a short space of time.
He's with the Lord now!

I'm happy for you pal. I didn't learn anything from my own father, i don't even know him that much. I was a kid when he gave up the ghost. Thank God for my lovely mother i learnt much from her. #I love my mother.

You need to move on. Be smart with people generally. Don't let your father ruin your life. Understand that when people are comfortable they tend to mess up especially in familial relationships. Learn to balance sacrifices i.e the one you will make for yourself and for the family.

I am not asking you to love your dad. Good riddance to bad rubbish. smiley

Sorry bro, be to your children what you wish your father was to you. That's how to wipe out the bad memory. Good luck!
