Parent-Child Moments

Well, my father is an alcoholic and he and my mother split up when I was like 2 or 3, and so I never really get to spend much time with him. But the most memorable moment i have with him is this one camping trip I went on with him. He took me on this big hike through the woods, and we spent hours searching for something. He wouldn't tell me what it was, and I was like 4, so I was getting cranky and tired. Finally we found what he was looking for, a tree where the upper branches had thinned out, and what remained was some dead branch that formed to look like the number 4. He spent all this time looking for it because he figured I would be thrilled by a tree that formed my age. I can't remember what my reaction was, but thinking back to it, I think that search is what instilled within me a large appreciation for the little details in everything. To this day, I find myself seeing those little details about everything. Whether it be a peculiar rock formation, or simply an interesting way that a peice of paper has stuck against the side of a building in the wind. I can always find a reason to look at it. And it carries forth into my dealings with people. Even if I completely despise someone for the majority of things they do, I can always pick out the little things that make it easier for me to get along with them. Needless to say, my father at his present state, can't remember ever going for that walk. But that is a memory that I will always have.
