I always knew I wanted to make my own way; I never wanted to be dependent on my father.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father raised me to think independently and follow my own path in life.
I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father's footsteps.
My dad let me figure out what I wanted to do on my own.
I have made my own decisions ever since my father died.
I always wanted to be a father. I have a beautiful relationship with my dad and beautiful memories. I always knew I was going to have a family.
I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.
I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.
My father seemed always to know not only what I was doing, but what I was being.
I wanted to grow up to be just like my father.
I never knew my father, and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what.
