My father was an incredible man and was beyond compare. It taught me to treasure every second spent with my family and to never take it for granted. I admire him and will continue to carry on his ___ legacy. Even though he is not here, I consider him my guide in making my decisions. His absence forced me to understand that time with loved ones should never be wasted. I strive to be independent and strong, like my mother, and tenacious and caring like my father. My father would have higher expectations of me. I try to be the best daughter, student, and person. “One day” I will become the woman my father expected of me
