Yup, I have a great dad and mom. They have been married for 20 some odd years (I think 22 or 23) and are still quite in love. My dad spent the whole week painting the house for her... lol go figure :). I couldn't ask for better parrents... they can be a bit strict at times... but just because they love me. All my friends love them too... go figure :)

yes. he taught me almost everything i know.
an extremely idealistic man.
he's very hard on me, but he's always hard on himself also, so it's kinda fair.

my parents have stuck together, happily it seems. i'm thankful for that, it meant home was a low-stress enviroment.

Yes. He was working a lot during the days though, so I only really saw him on weekends. Maybe it's because I'm timid in nature but he kinda scares me a lot, even now at age 22. I've told myself I'd never pickup or have the same hard on people traits as he does, but I know I do now. :(

Yes, my father was always there. He's a good hard working man. He has his faults but he has a good heart and was always a good father to me. I love my dad.

I was raised with my father and step father in the house, but the my mom, step-mom, dad, and step-dad are all in the military, so they were always gone on various deployments.

That would be me.. thou once he was out of the Navy (when I was about 11 or so) my parents got divorced and he moved to another state, I would see him during the summer and for a week at Christmas.. though we did talk on the phone all the time.
