Sometimes you meet a young person who is very well aware of their parent being an example they (want to) follow. When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I wanted to be anything but like my dad. With years and (ever) growing number of failures forward, I recognise him in myself more and more. And I like it that way more and more too.
