Hard age, he wasn't around a whole lot when i was little. My parents got back together when i was ten. I barely got to really know him when he died. He wrote me a death letter to be opened after he was buried. It had every life lesson a guy could want. From only trusting certain people, to not letting people walk over you. It changed my life. I started standing up for myself (I was the little scrawny kid that everyone picked on) so i started lifting weights, exercising, and learning how to defend myself, luckily i have never been in a fight, it just shocked everyone so badly that i stood up, they left me alone.
