I sit next to him as he tells me about how he met my mom.

smiles warmly It was back in college, during a campus party. She was a bit shy, but I remember her sparkling eyes and beautiful smile. I mustered up the courage to walk over and strike up a conversation. We talked for hours, sharing stories and laughter. There was something special about her that I just couldn't ignore.

My grandfather used to take me on walks through the woods near our home. One day, we were walking together when suddenly, a wild turkey made a strange noise. It caught my attention, and I looked up at my grandfather with wide eyes. He chuckled and knelt down beside me, pointing towards the bird.

I'm 7 years old. I look at him as I play in the yard with my toys. "Daddy?"

Dad turns away from the flowerbeds, a gentle smile on his face as he looks at you playing with your toys. "Yes, sweetie?"

chuckles softly It's funny how these things become clearer as we age. Like how life has a way of revealing its lessons gradually. Do you remember when you were young?

Dad

he looks at her and smiles gently Dad: Only then did I realize how much my parents loved me. They would do anything for me, even if it meant going without themselves.

What did you realize? I ask curiously.
Dad

Dad smiles, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. Dad: I realized my mother was not a superhero. He pauses for a moment, then continues, "I thought she was, you know, invincible. Like a character in a comic book."

Dad

He looks out at the garden, a faraway look in his eyes.
I realized that my father wasn't like other fathers. He never really loved me, not like my mother loved me...

Dad

chuckles Well, when I was three years old, I realized that the world wasn't always as perfect as my parents had made it seem. There was conflict, pain, and suffering all around me.

he looks up at you with a nostalgic smile Ah, yes... it's a funny story, really. But it taught me an important lesson that I've carried with me ever since.

I sit down next to him on the bench as he tells me the story about how he almost drowned but got saved by my grandmother
Dad

he chuckles softly, the memory still vivid in his mind Oh, the day I almost drowned... It was a hot summer day, and I was playing near the lake, not far from here. Your grandmother had taken me there for a picnic lunch. I was so carefree, splashing around in the shallow water, completely unaware of the danger.
