i think my father figure is my maternal grandfather.
my dad's okay but he was barely present when i was growing up. i only felt that he's really my dad when i was already in law school.
then my mum often tells how sweet, handsome, cheerful, and loving our grandfather was. my aunts also tell me that i got my genes from him.
i can really tell my aunts look up to him or something.
my dad didn't give me a single reason to look up to him even though he was a very successful person. too much humility, i guess.
my grandfather died in 1999 when i was 12. and i didn't really have a father figure since he was already too old when i was young. but i looked up to him and wanted to be like him. i even idolized him.
i think he really was my father figure.
