Is the reality of the world different from how we perceive and experience it in our minds? Does physical reality exist apart from the human mind?

That is an awesome memory! Also, it feels really good to have your loved ones read your work! I write children stories and my dad barely reads anything (I have no idea how I'm his daughter ). So it's hard to get my dad to read my stories and get his opinion about it. It's great that your dad did that for you.Vickyoreo86 wrote:My most memorable encounter with my dad is the time I let him read some of my manuscripts for a dark fantasy novel I wrote about a Succubus demon. He was enjoying it until his very British, prudish self, reached a sex scene (not even an overly graphic one) He gave me a look like he had no clue who his daughter was! It was hilarious. He said 'Ok, no more of that for me, I think'. I was rolling around laughing because his cheeks were pink!

I would say, though, my most memorable moment was when my first dog passed away. After the burial, my father came up to me, handed me my dog's collar, and hugged me tighter than anyone has ever hugged me before. I was 17, and it was the first time I had seen my father cry. I will never forget that moment, and I look back on it with mixed emotions.

That is absolutely wonderful! You had a great father!Natalie Charlene wrote:I have an excellent father. He spent time with me when I was growing up, and he is still a major source of support now that I am an adult. Because of this, I have an endless supply of memorable experiences with him. He drove me to horse-riding lessons, he took me camping and hiking, and he helped me excel in school by teaching me at home, so I had a head start in my classes.
