My Father: A Person Who I Follow

On April 16^th 1984, I have walked my way from my mother’s womb. On the same date 2010, someone who means the world to me had gone to a place, where I will never see him again. That person was my father, who died on April 16^th. My father had always been in my life, from the first day I opened my eyes until the day he was gone.  That person was a loving, kind, modest, thoughtful and a giving man. In the early 80’s, he was in the United States for his master degree, where he earned it from University of Washington in Seattle. Furthermore, he had his P.H.D. from University of Rhode Island in Kingston. As a result, he was a very educated and knowledgeable person. My father, really made a massive impact in my life, he encouraged me to chase my graduate degree in the United States.  Accordingly, he gave me the motivation and welling to do that. He has taught me never to give up and to go for what’s out there. Despite being a workaholic, he was able to manage his time and be there for his family. He worked his life to make sure we always have everything we need. He worked in the ministry of commerce, which is located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. His position was general manager for fighting commercial fraud. He had been in lots of TV shows and radio interviews, where he discussed the essentials of his job. In addition, he always tried his best effort to fix everything. He made me believe that all my requests were orders, he never said no; therefore, I was my daddy little girl all the time. Sometimes when I need him the most, I just close my eyes so tight and imagine him next to me, comforting me and telling me that everything will be alright. Finally, I am grateful and proud to be able to call this wonderful man my father.
