My Father
There is many changes of looks when people age, but very often we remember them as they used to be. Thinking about my father, I see him as he was when I was a little girl growing up. He was a strong, hard worker, confident, and attractive men. Many times I remember him getting ready to work while I was growing up, but I usually think of him with his lovely Sunday tuxedo. He had short wavy, dark brown hair and dark hazel eyes. His face was a slightly rectangle oval, which made him look both gentle and strong. He had high, wide big eyebrows and a triangular, slightly turned up nose. I used to sit on his lap to cuddle against his chin and I loved the feeling of his rough face due to his facial hair. He was a tall man, about five feet nine
