Dad worked in a warehouse when I was little and I didn't see him for three years as he was doing all the overtime God gave him to buy me new ballet shoes, or a new tutu.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a child, I didn't see my dad that much because he was always working at the restaurant. He became pretty jaded after working at the restaurant for so long.
I missed my dad a lot growing up, even though we were together as a family. My dad was really a workaholic. And he was always working.
My dad died when I was 15 and worked way too much.
My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.
I wasn't really aware that my father was working for quite a while. I thought it was my mother who had all the money!
The last 16 years of my daddy's life, he got to work for me, and that made him his own boss and he like that.
When I moved out, my mom and dad came to help me get settled into my apartment - a place I ultimately got hooked up with in Coach Nelson's building. We had to figure out how to get all my shoes over here. That was a little stressful.
There were days when my father didn't have money for food, and we slept hoping the next day something could be got from work.
My dad was a workaholic. I saw him work seven days a week.
I thought my dad was out of work, because my friends had fathers with briefcases who'd go off somewhere with bow ties on. But my father would finish breakfast and go back to his room.
