So what important lessons did your father teach you either directly or indirectly? I could tell you some of the funnier stories, like him pulling me aside when I was in the process of moving out of the house and giving me some very important life advice. "always buy the biggest box of corn flakes" or the story about him trying to teach me how to drive a standard by explaining how a standard transmission worked using bananna's and oranges to demonstrate. but those aren't really the important lessons. One of the strongest memories of my childhood is my father coming to talk to me late at night when I couldn't sleep. I had a pretty vivid imagination and would lay awake half the night being afraid of a variety of things like aliens or quicksand. He never dismissed my fears or told me I was being silly. Instead he took them seriously and would spend a long time explaining in a practical way why I didn't have to be afraid of them. This taught me an important lesson. That if you take the time to listen to someone who is upset and or frightened you can help them in a multitude of ways. Even if you don't have an answer for their fear just listening to them can give them the strength to fight their own demons. btw did you know you can swim out of quicksand? and the only animals that die in quicksand are cows. Because cows are the stupidest animals on earth and it never occurs to them to swim out of it. at least that is what my dad told me. |

Your dad sounds like a very wise man. Btw, just how did he explain standard transmissions with banana's and oranges?

My father taught me just what to do to become a lowly, horribly selfish and rather dispicable human being. Thankfully really, as i`ve learned just what not to do if i`m ever blessed enough to become a father from him. |

my father taught me that when given a second chance, leave the past in the past and start new. my dad taught me how to work on my own car, how to read a map, how to have respect of others, to appreciate what i have and that life is an adventure. my stepdad taught me to not be like him. all three share my love of trek. |

all three? Whats the difference between your father and your dad? The only thing I contest is that respect is earned, not freely given - to anyone |

Only the "father" and "dad" part - didnt know that your "father" was a "hit and run" |
