You might be surprised at the hidden skills your father has accumulated over a lifetime of hard work. If you're at all interested, I'd be happy to help you help him find a new line of work and give you any connections I might have.
It's a tough spot to be in as a kid...I get it, I've been there (story for another post). Just know that you're not alone and lots of people might be willing to help you! Steemit is a pretty good place to meet some of these people because we have such a huge cross-section of society here.
Wow, thank you so much for your comment. That really means a lot to me! His business is cleaning and repairing Oriental (Persian) rugs. He's done it for almost 40 years now. He's also an amazing artist, but is too shy about his work to put it anywhere.
I'd love to talk with you some more! Are you on Discord? I also have a Steemit.chat account somewhere around here... hahaha.
Thank you again!
