Background
Donations will go to paying for My Dad's Cremation expenses as well as transportation of his ashes. Any Donations over the specified goal will go to helping my mom and sister as they are no longer receiving social security benefits on my dads behalf
Jesse L. Symlar, or better known to me as "Dad" one of the few people who has always been there for me even if he was not always present when I was growing up he tried to be there as much as he could. However, my Dad was very much a busy man and by no means a "perfect" man. He was a man who worked every waking hour and with whatever time he had that he didn't come home from work and immediately pass out, as soon as he sat down on the couch from exhaustion he would hang out with me and my sister. He often helped me with school work and the such. On the occasions that I would have a school project or a school activity he would always try to attend; I could count the times that he wasn't able to attend on one hand(it was 4, and my sister's birth was the reason for one of those occurrences so you can understand that he cared alot about his family even if he had to stretch himself thin.)
Back to what I was saying, My Dad has always been a good and caring parent to me and my sister. He was not without flaw but no parent is, if raising a child were easy everyone would be able to do it and never have to go through hardships while doing it. Whenever my dad would make a mistake he would often tell me to learn from them so that i would not make the same mistakes he did.
After the divorce of my Mom and Dad, It was a bit difficult but divorces are never easy for parents or children. To this day I don't understand what happened but I can say that it was different, my mom started working more and often came home at very late hours, she would use her days off to spend time with me and my sister taking us out to malls or the Citywalk at Universal Orlando; My dad was calling every day to check in on me and my sister, often spending upwards of 2-3 hours on the phone just talking about our days and our plans for the future.
Unfortunately my Dad was not there during my college graduation as he was in a different state and was visually impaired to the extent that he would often need assistance to get around, this was something known to me, he did visit i would have often help him move around the house so that he didn't get hurt. It was painful to me seeing this man who was a big person in my life as well as someone whom i looked up to experiencing these physical and mental hardships. Afterall When I was a little kid I would often think I wanted to be as strong as my father.
Jesse Lee Symlar, My father was not a "perfect" man by any stretch of the word but he was and always will be the best Dad i could have hoped for. ...even if he was painfully secretive.
