Gearbest's Father's Day Giveaway - 4 lights! WINNERS LIST IN POST 95

Fathers day is when I think about my father (dad) who passed in 1989, all he has done for me, and all he had not.
He was a World War Two veteran serving in the US Navy, in the south pacific. He had many stories of that time.
Growing up we (my brothers and I) heard them many times over and over. Now I do wish to hear them again.

I just spent the last two days with my dad in the hospital. Father’s Day will be a little sweeter this year.

My dad is my idol,our common mania is the flashlight collection.

My Father always taught me no pain no gain. I’ve found that to be true in life. Also what goes around comes around. Happy Father’s Day!

My father taught me to always work hard and to never take anything for granted. A great inspiration on all levels.

I dont have any special memories around Fathers day. When I was young I probably gave something to my dad. Probably from my teens till I got married didnt give anything... Since I got married I started to give a little present each year. What I learned: don't spend more money than you earn... :p

Unfortunately my dad is a complete waste of a human, and always has been. Left when I was less than 1 year old then fraudulently tried to remortgage our house leaving my mother to pay 2 mortgages. Luckily he didn’t succeed. My lovely mum bless her only told me this last year! over 40 years later.
He wonders now why I don’t want anything to do with him, and why I won’t let my kids see him.
On a brighter note he did inspire me - to be the complete opposite of him :wink: I have 2 kids now, 11 and 3 and a lovely wife of 16 years.

When i was a child, my father was such a strict man. what i considered “having fun”, he wanted nothing to do with it. In fact, he typically scolded me for it. I wanted the kind of father some of my friends had, they were allowed to have fun, the kind of fun teenagers have. As i have grown older and have teenagers myself, they think i am too strict. Im not in favor of them having the kind of fun “teenagers have”. I think they wish they had a father like some of their friends have.
Circle of life…Fathers (and Mothers) will always have the child’s best interest in mind, even if its seldom perceived as such by the child.
As a teenager, i never wanted to be like my dad. I think my children are thinking the very same thing….about me. You just wait… Life is a beautiful thing.
I am now smart enough to realize how dumb i was, my hope is that my children will feel the same way about them selves as they get “old enough”.
Now my dad is my Hero and i wish i could always be like him.

My dad turned 86 last month. Growing up, we weren’t very close, but I still admired him.
Thirteen years ago, my mother passed away from ovarian cancer.
After her passing, my dad and I have become very close and I treasure each day with him.

My dad is dead now, but I think of him many Many times every single day. Miss him Infinitely.

My father inspired me to work smarter not harder :slight_smile:

My dad taught me the meaning of patience. I recall as a kid sitting in the back seat of the car with him driving and my mom reaching over to honk the horn at someone that wasn’t driving the way she thought they should. I believe my dad was correct in not honking and exercising patience to prevent road rage that is so prevalent nowadays. Because of him, I too try to be more tolerant of those not driving the best.

HaPpy FaThEr’S dAy to all cool dads here… Just keep on shining…:slight_smile:

My father always told me to study and to be a good person.

My dad taught me to be independent and respectful of others.

My father always been just a figure in my life, I am nothing like him, and doing my best to be better father to my kids. They are now young, but hope that one day they can turn around and say something nice about their Old man.

Thanks for giveaway

Still have my father - that’s the important thing (me, 49 - him, 83)

Thanks for the offer!

My father, when i was still studying, never or rarely missed a day giving me some spare coins. After a schools done i have earmed myself a candy or two. As a boy this makes me happy.

My father is hardworking man. He is great example of how to care for his family.

The memory of my father will always have a special place in my heart.
