Nevertheless, let me delve into the characteristics of my dad and mum. There is a saying that, "Blood is thicker than water". It happens everywhere. Our genes are very powerful and they speak louder than words. That's the reason, we need to be wise when we are choosing a partner. Get to know their family members, get to know them, relate with them, and ask them questions. This is the reason we relationship before getting married. This time is like a training foundation for both men and women.

Therefore, I'm going to share different traits that I have possessed

Dad's traits

Humans possess good virtues and bad virtues. No man was born perfect but we were travailed with a purpose and if that purpose is not actualized, it is our fault, and have ourselves to blame. Same with our traits, we were born with a mixture of blood from our parents, so we may possess generational traits.

In my dad's life, there are some traits that he possesses that I do not like as his daughter. But there are some characteristics that I welcome in him and I can attest to you that it is one of the distinguishing qualities found in me which is commitment. My dad can be committed to doing outstanding things. I am committed to, whether responsibility is entrusted to me or not, and eager to get something done to my satisfaction. If it doesn't meet the standard, it will always be a problem.

These inherent attributes play a pivotal role in shaping how a person interacts with the people in his/her world, showing the world his inherent features.

Another beautiful about my dad is the hilarious stunt. He got this attribute from his dad, that's my grandpa. My dad can play, talk, and have fun. My dad is an extrovert while I am an introvert. He has a long leg, which I do, he has an oval face while I have a round face.

How it has helped me

Possessing these attributes entails that I have an identity. Some of the blessings/ benefits I am enjoying today are through my father. Months ago, someone offered me a gift because of the attributes I possess from my father. I can use my father's name to go anywhere. Having these attributes, positively and negatively, would always create an impact that there is a source you copied, by blood.

Mum's traits

My mum is an introvert and I am an introvert too. She is very stubborn and I am very stubborn. 🤣 At times, my stubbornness does help in some situations. My mum and dad are caring and they are helpful to people's problems. My mum is always eager to solve people's problems around her. I'm very caring and ready to help people around me. These attributes have helped me as a lady. 90% of people complimented me for being caring. My mum is merciful, so I am merciful. These have shed light on my path. And I am grateful for helping me to understand the power of forgiveness/mercy.
