Let me just start this off by saying that I love both of my parents, maybe not always equally, but I love them. I say my dad is hero, however, because he just is and that's the way I say it to be. Honestly, though, my dad has taught me a lot and I am so grateful to have him as my dad and to have him raise me himself. My parents were together up until the point when I was 5 years old and they separated. They gave me the choice of whether I wanted to stay at my mom's or move with my dad. I obviously chose my dad. My dad and I didn't have the luxurious life but we made it work. He made sure I never went without and he worked to the bone to provide for us. He didn't really know what to do with raising this little girl and all that came with that but eventually we found our own routine. Now I'm not saying my mom just abandoned me as I talk about how my dad raised me on his own. After their separation, they learned to co-parent effectively and I love how they were able to work as one. Anyways, my dad treated me like a princess, as all dads should with their daughters. He was my best friend and we did everything together. He's my hero because he never let life defeat him. He never got stressed much about anything, he just did what he had to do to get by and keep a smile on my face. He is just a peaceful man and is always so patient. My dad is who I aspire to be as a parent. It's hard to put in words but I'm glad my dad is who is. Once again, I also love my mother!
