Fatherhood
Father's Footprint
Father’s Footprint “Watch Out for Slippery Rocks” For years as youngsters my brother and I thought our father’s name was Bruce, after all that was what everyone - neighbours, extended family, workmates - called him. Then we learned his name was actually William Bruce and everyone called him Bruce because his father’s name was also William. That’s just what they did here in Australia back in the day, named a son after the father then proceeded to call the son by his middle name, there was no William II or William Junior. I never knew my grandfather William, a handsome half-Indian immigrant who had been brought to Australia by his father Arthur who was a very English military type who had worked on the construction of the Indian Railway. William died from encephalitis when my dad was a young boy of seven, perhaps that was the defining event that shaped the young lad’s future.

Spring-Oranges
"Determined waves make their way to the beach softly hissing as they rise up, trying to escape their fate but finally admitting defeat with a sigh as they crush against the sand; a pinch of salt in the air. Warm winds make your hair brush against your cheaks, carrying a wiff of fresh spring oranges to your senses. Listen! Can you hear the birds sing?". My father whistleing a birds song in my ear, "One day I´ll show you, I promise!"

"Nothing But Fear..." - A Mechanic's Misguided Design. Content Warning.
The way I see my family now is very different from how I viewed them all just a few years ago, before my identity crisis began. Perhaps the one that hurts the most to realize didn't have my best interests at heart is my dad. It was somewhat expected with my mother, and my relationship with my (half-)sister has always been a detached, one-and-done type of failure, so those are easier to accept.

My Dad is Not Superman
For three consecutive years (from third grade to fifth grade), I won a Father's Day essay contest that was hosted by my school district. At 25 years old now I don't really remember the specifics of what I wrote in any of those essays, but if I had to guess, I probably made my dad sound like some superhero in a comic book. Because for much of my life, that was how I saw him.
