Hey, coffee lovers! Happy Father's day to all the dads present here and in your families❤️
If I were to have a coffee alone with my dad with the purpose of speaking from the heart, I'd have to say only good things to him, but not for the reasons you are probably thinking.
Meet my dad ☝️☝️☝️ We were about to eat dinner at my sister's yesterday. When I checked the prompt, I approached him immediately: "Hey, Elpidio, I need your photo for the Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community on Hive." So he posed for the photo and then asked, "the community of what?" I then explained everything and told him that anyone in the world could see this photo; then without hesitation, he stares at the camera, smiles, and says "make sure I look good" 🤣
If you meet my father any day in the street, you'll see that he's a laughing and even charming man, but he's pretty strict and has pretty rigid schemes. Oh my, is he bossy! That's all I'll say about his Mr. Hyde, hehe, so as not to compromise his privacy on the blockchain. I have the (healthy) habit to speak my mind when I don't like what he's saying or doing, but he doesn't handle criticism very well, so you can imagine how this folktale goes... For this and more, I'd have to thank him because as a child, I always knew that no matter what, my father would stand up for me. When I was 21 and my mother had just passed, he had recently bought a new car, so he gave me his old car and taught me how to check under the hood, you know? To check the battery, to measure the oil, to check the basic things like the radiator, engine, gearbox. He gave me a tool box and taught me how to change a flat tire. He told me, "if you are going to drive, you must know how to defend yourself on the road." I don't think I ever thanked him properly for that because I've been too busy telling him "I don't think so" and "I don't like that" (but he's got it coming, always 😏).
