I was reading a book and this passage attracted my attention:

"When we were younger, he used to take us kids places, like the national park and the beach and a playground miles away that had a huge metal rocket ship. He'd take us to those places and watch us play. We'd look back and he'd be sitting there, happily smoking, maybe dreaming. My first memory is of being four yearss old and getting a piggyback from my father. That was when the world wasn't so big and I could see everywhere. It was when my father was a hero and not a human."

What are some of your favorite memories with your father, stepfather, or father figure in your life?
