#24: My Dad Was A Real-Life Cowboy
Many children grow up idolizing their fathers; young boys often see their fathers as the epitome of manhood. Fathers are often considered strong and brave. But, of course, as children grow a bit older, they realize their father is only human and has typical human limitations. So, what happens when that idea of your parent gets shattered?
Luckily for this person, it never happened to them! This contributor discovered a photo of their father riding a horse in 1972. If you look closely at the horse, what do you notice? There is no saddle! Even this man’s child is shocked to realize their father is riding bareback. Once again, a parent goes beyond their child’s expectations.
