I'm very proud of my father. Have been, and always will be.
He contracted Hepatitis C a few years ago, went through chemotherapy, lost his job, thought he was going to lose his mother to cancer(thankfully, she beat it), and was put on government disability. All of this was beyond his control. He was a single father of two throughout this entire hellish ordeal.
He did his best, and continues to do his best, to raise my sister(I'm basically independent now), and if I do say so myself, he does one hell of a job, considering the circumstances. There are a precious few people who are strong enough to do what he has done, and I will respect him and be proud of him until the day I die.
Note: As of now, and for the past few years, his disease has been in remission, but it's one of those that you can't really cure, and could come back at any time.
