My Father the Math-Man

Ever since i was a little kid, i never really understood my dad. He has some interesting views, and they are definitely different than mine. Growing up with my mom and dad in my life the whole time has been such a great and positive experience. My parents are still together and will be forever. But for some reason or another i was attached to my father.
My dad has taught me so much about living and life and how and what i should do with my life. I am so grateful of him and the fact that by default he is my dad. We have really had some rough times though. The fact that he is so mathematical has been really hard for me to understand. Many people might not think this would be a big deal, but it was really hard for me to cope with it.
He forced his views on me about the way math was the way of the world and it really pissed me off. As i was able to get older and mature our talks were more meaningful and i could really understand where he was coming from.
He made me understand, and believe it or not, like math. i understood the beauty of math and how it works so well with the world. The reasons we are here and the reason that everything works is just a simple math equation.
After all of these hard talks and long years of fighting with my dad, he has made an impact of me. he has shown me what life is about. and i am no longer scared of the future or in question of why we are here. he has changed so many of my views and i am not sure he really knows this. Through this personal experience grew an intellectual expireice.
