Echoes Under the Oak: A Father's Legacy. Content Warning.
The fathers we know, whether by blood or bond, cast long shadows over our lives. They shape the contours of our personalities, influence our paths, and, ultimately, help mould our identities. As I sit in my study on this quiet Sunday evening, the eve of Father's Day, I am drawn to the humbling introspection of my father's role in my life.

My Dad. Content Warning.
"I love you more than all the stars in the sky and all the grains of sand in the world." These are the words my dad used to declare his love for me and my siblings. I can still remember sitting on his lap, awe-struck by the sheer magnitude of his love. "Woahhh, every grain of sand?! That's so many!" I would exclaim. He'd repeat those words until they were a mantra embedded deep in my heart.

Grapefruit as Fatherly Love. Runner-Up in Father's Footprint Challenge.
They take work. I’m standing behind the counter where my father peels a white grapefruit. He sections them according to their lines and continues to peel until they are no longer enveloped in the transparent casings and white ribbon. This debris he collects into a pile beside the cutting board.

Who's Your Daddy (?!). Content Warning.
He never laid a hand on me... not even once, well; except that one time when he grabbed me by the throat and threw me against the truck because he couldn't find his cigarettes. In his defense, I HAD taken them, at the baiting of my older step-brother. And, it wasn't all bad... It was probably this instance that helped me realize, being a smoker isn't that high on my list of priorities. And more than the choking and throwing part, I think it was the public humiliation of being reprimanded in front of my stepbrothers and cousins, and the feeling of being betrayed, when it was my cousins who wanted the cigarettes and my step brothers who pressed me into taking them, but none of them had anything to say about it when I was hanging, feet dangling in the air, suspended by my father's one hand around my neck, in the driveway, against the side of his truck.
