So important to take care of your family. I was unfortunate to have lost my father at a young age and he missed out on seeing me develop into a grown man. Photos/posts like this definitely hit home. Good to see you looking out for your old man.
Cheers my friend

You are so young. Still in the prime and ready to rock.

The title made this song get stuck in my head

your old man is my old man. ouzo and out

fantastic post

Mosquito killer, nice to meet your old man.
Happy father’s day in advance to him and all fathers out there. Old age will definitely come upon us all, whatever we do now lives forever.
I can picture my old age closing my eyes
Thanks @twiceuponatime for the pictures.

Dad is important to our life. Giving life together all the time. It is like God.

I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
But my love for him is unlimited and his love for me is even more than that.
Happy fathers day @onceuponatime, may your old man live more for you.

Great comment, where is comment of muhasib???

You certainly look like you will be forever in your prime I mean I don't know lol, I may have watched too movies,

Our parents all their life, care for us, they forgot their wishes for us, but fulfill our dreams and our all wishes.

happy father day in advance!

Yeah that's fact, that time come in everyOnes life on time, btw you're lOoking so cute Sir and your father MashaALLAH :-)

MashALLAH you and your father looks stunning in old and new age. Everyone will be old one day. Father is the one who loves and take care with every possible way.

I killed a few mosquitoes too while making this comment. Everybody will be a old mens someday. Just try to be a happy men. ;)

Being a father does not just mean giving
everything material to your son,
Being a father means being your friend,
I have a very nice Father
but the biggest pain is that he is not my friend,
My Father only talks to me
when there is alcohol in your veins,
we never talk like friends
because there is no trust between the two,
My father would like to say "My old man"
but there is no confidence to speak.
My Father likes to see me overcome
and help me from afar,
I would like to tell you about my feelings
but he almost never has time,
I would like to be his friend and tell him
"How do I love you my Old Man"

Recently I asked my body to show me what to heal. A few days later, I began the week of provocation and fighter with tears. It happened out of nowhere and spontaneous. I had a thought about my late dad and a realisation that how deep I was conditioned by him. That realisation alone made me weep.

To write this will open up pieces of me to the world. I believe it’s time to bring it out to the Light. I seldom think of him but yesterday, his memory felt so alive. I knew it’s time to heal our Souls. Therefore, I would appreciate if you read this with compassion and feel no pity whatsoever towards our relationship. Remember that all of us are the product of conditioning and every journey is the sacred ones. So here we go.

I rarely speak about him. I don’t think of him as much as I think of my late mother. But yesterday, I saw a pattern. With him, I learned to fight; fight to be me, fight to get what I want, fight for love. All kind of fights. With him, I have always wondered why I don’t feel so much love from him.

In the first picture, which one is you, the little one or the big one? Dear @onceuponatime, your father is a very handsome man. Now we all can see from where you got your handsome look.
Eagerly waiting to see the father's day picture that you are going to celebrate with your father.

Happy Father's Day in advance.

This one is my favorite because in this photo, he looks like a Cool Italian Mafia Don. Its a compliment, please don't it other-ways because my all time favorite movie is Godfather.

Hello @onceuponatime
Greetings from nigeria:)
Your father still has young looks a little to me..everyone gets old eventually, sooner or later. Its a circle of life.
Thank you for sharing @onceupinatime nice seeing cool pics of your father:)
I am @vickyrich

Teens to last breathes .....takes a fraction ,just a flick of time.

And valar morghulis @game of thrones

Father is one of the best thing in the world, I am pray for your father, he will live long with you. Father always love with his child, but some child love with his father and some are not. You are great @onceuponatime.

Yes some day we will all grow old, and then our children will be our stay; how we take care of our fathers will also reflect in how our children will care for us.
Happy fathers day to your dad.

You @Onceuponatime is the best son any father can possibly asked for. You both are lucky man because your father have a caring son like & you have the coolest dad a son could possibly have. Have fun guys.

happy father's dey in advance,So important to take care of your family. I was unfortunate to have lost my father at a young age and he missed out on seeing me develop into a grown man,you are great post my dear friend @onceuponatime.

Yeah everyone will touch that age. But the thing that matter is how strong and well prepared you are to face that phase. By the way cute pics 😍

What a great story, it's disheartening that your father has to go through all of this with his condition; hopefully he will be able to recover as quickly as possible, because heart condition can hold people back.
It reminds me of my father who has a heart condition, where has has to take medicine to control his blood pressure; thankfully he's taking many steps to get a healthier lifestyle than before, he also lost weight and eats as healthy as possible.
But I don't think it would be simple or even fair to assume that your father hasn't been as healthy as he should when it comes to eating food, sometimes working out too much without giving your heart a rest can sometimes be the cost.
But a question I have about the McDonald's, is how long has he eaten McDonald's, or how constantly has he've been eating McDonald's?
If it's very consistent, he should stop eating too much of it. Of course it isn't simple for him, and I could write a post about addiction soon, or changing habits as soon as possible. I hope your father gets better, throughout his journey of recovery.

We care about your dad and feeling with you. I hope he fully recoveres so that you may still spend alot of time with him. Family is important. Keep them close and enjoy togheter from life and the small things. I am very glad you care so much for your dad. Looks like you are a person who supports him alot and where he can count on. Keep us updated!

In a beautiful way, Father's love comes in many shades. This is the man who teaches you how to lead, respect others and always stand up for yourself. In the same day or even the same hour, he morphs into your action-packed friend who is always down to play, on the court or at a father-son fishing trip.

Very nice photographs, looking you do great care of dad , very nice to see that . In this day people don't care there parents properly. When they getting old some child think its burden so they send their parents in old care. So we should have lots of responsibilites for them and a father is an umbrella for a child in this world, when he goes umbrella will be go away.

Really intresting post sir

he is other one probably
as @onceuponatime said me and older brother

Parents are the blessing of God.

You have a blessings on you in the form of your father, do care for him and never hurt him :)

Thank you.

Happy fathers day in advance.

I read your post @onceuponatime, your family back ground and your Dad's family back ground. Having a father like yours is a blessing and a joy. Having a father is a source of security and strength. I already lost my Dad and nobody helped him except us his children. He had a big family too but not lucky enough to have their support especially in his most difficult times. We're all in college that time and I finished my college thru academic scholarship sponsored by a Catholic University in my place. That's why, when I read your story about your Dad, I feel what you're feeling. And you're lucky to have this community to share your life.
I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad's situation, but hopefully with God's mercy and grace and financial support, he'll be able to recover soon. He's very lucky to have a son like you. And you're very lucky to have a Dad like him. I hope in my little way, I'll be able to contribute to Dad's recovery. God bless and get well soon to your Dad! He's a real Hero to your family and others too!

Great and amazing post.
Beautiful capture @onceuponatime.
Nice content
Very well articulated
I am so connected to my mother.
My mother is my life and I love her unconditionally. 💚

please have a look on my post🤗💙

Thanks for sharing this post.

I killed a few mosquitoes while going through this post.

Seeing your old man makes me want to give my old man a hug. Life is precious. He is fortunate to be living to such an old age, cherish the time.

Certainly hope our children are as proud and respectful of us as you are for your father.

Taking time to acknowledge him and share your enjoyment speaks loudly.

My father was just 62 when he passed. At times I try to picture him growing older. Knowing all that would change would be his looks, cause I know he would always be himself no matter what age. Lol. Kind of comforting.

Seems like you make Father's Day everyday.

This is really cool, I can say you are his carbon copy like seriously, you have done well enough taking care of your old man, you will reap the good part you have done in his life, your kids gonna do the same for you. Carry on man. Appreciating one's parent is a good thing.

Awww such a sweet thinking and Also i am so glade that you love your father so much amd iam sure you are also a good father 😇

And i also like these types of Vintage Photographs that you posts sometimes 😇

All the pictures you posted were all good most especially the one you are your father's. You have done so well enough taking good care of him, it actually show in his color and skin. The love of one's parent is unlimited, carry on sir, you will soon be appreciated by your own children too. I really love this sir.

Wow! You're lucky to have your Old man alive and to be able to take care of him, I lost mine fews years back. Take good care of him while you have the chance. You are blessed.

Someday we'll all be old.
We should respect and treat our parents as we'd want to be treated ourselves when we're old.
