In Brianna Shoaf's article, "How to Say Good-Bye", I was able to relate her feelings toward her father's leaving. Within her article the words "I'll always be your dad" bring back loads of memories that are quite similar to hers. It is always hard to say good-bye, I should know, every time I say good-bye to my dad I cannot help but cry my eyes out. Shoaf's article demonstrates how distance does not matter but the care one has for each other. Although Shoaf's situation is not similar to mine, I was able to understand that distance can be a positive impact not only because it creates a stronger father-daughter situation , but it also helps me understand that over the years I'll get use to the situation and see it as another adventure of life.
