Whenever I was asked who I preferred, I never chose ‘Dad’ as my answer.”He continued, “Recently, I have started to reflect on my relationship with my father. I made the first move and called him, discussing various topics. I even expressed my love for him, something I had never done since becoming an adult. I couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.”
