Hello friends,

I appreciate hivelearners community and hivelearners initiative for this wonderful contest.

I want to say that my FATHER is my life hero.

Who is a Hero?

a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

My father is that person I admired for his courage, outstanding achievement or credible qualities made in our lives as his family.

At his middle age he has achieved what some his mate has not.

My Dad from my childhood has fought a good fight to make sure his missions are accomplished on his family. It is not easy to be a man. He has strive in all means to keep his family healthy and sound.

He hustle from one business to another just for the sake of his family.
I grew up to see him as a carpenter. Making sofa bed, chairs, wardrobe, lockers, tables, benches and other wooden tools. He is very good at this. His works always attractive. Still in that line of business he joined ogadada(a driver) on the streets to make additional money just for his family.

He is an Hero, I give to him 100% hero.

My father later stopped driving on the street roads to another village business called tap wine tapper.
As a person I didn't like this business that he is doing till date. Why, it is scary to some extent, it is risky. Like falling down from raffia tree or any wild animal can easily hurt while up there.
Waking up early in the morning to enter bush to collect wine, in the afternoon the same thing and in the evening the same thing, just for his family. This business demand hardwork and it arduous too but you can cash out 100, 000 NGN a day.

In this world there are heroes and heroines that we mustn't joke with. They deserves honour and respect. My dad deserves it too.

My dad is poor academically, in other aspects of life he is capable, inventing things. He trade in all kinds of business to make his wife and children have food to eat.
What really surprises me till today is the kind of house he has built, how imaginative and constructive he is in decision making.

He does these to sponsor us in my academics and my siblings.

For many years he has been on the street, he has never experienced road accident because of how skillful he was in driving.

My dad doesn't have peace of mind if there is no food in the house for us to eat.

I could recalled the day we didn't have food to eat, everything thing went dry and hard. My dad entered his backyard farm and uprooted cocoyam and wateryam and cook for my siblings, while I battle in drinking garri. It was a terrible experience of hardship.

By God's strength given to him he was able to withstand and conquered.

Some men are men. I give my dad salute.
I wouldn't love him to die without reaping the fruit of his labour.

I so much appreciate this contest topic, it is interesting to write and create meaningful content of life.

Thank you for reading

Yeah, one day he will relax and enjoy life.

Garri is a fried cassava flour. It could be used for soup or it could be used for drinking or sipping.

Thank you for stopping by @wrestlingdesires.

These days, with all the distractions of life, some people do not try really hard when it comes to the upkeep of their families. Your father proves that there are still people who are willing to go to great lengths to make sure their family is comfortable.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

There is always a stage in life where we go through this stage in our lives we just have to keep pushing and hoping for the best.
Your dad will very much find peace of mind, our dads do go through a lot though being the head of the house there are lots of responsibilities there carry it's quite hard for them most times.
I pray your dad find his peace. Of mind.💞
Thanks for sharing dear friend.

I appreciate your dad for taking it upon himself to do everything possible to keep the family happy. Some men shy from their responsibilities and blame the economy for their failure, but your dad delved into many businesses to make sure he provide for the family. That is the spirit of hustlers. May he live to enjoy his children when they come of age to reciprocate what he did to train them. One love.
