There could be a friend who is a volunteer at a local animal shelter. He often told stories about the cute animals he took care of. He might have even brought a small and friendly pet to visit daddy's family, which was a really fun and heart - warming experience for everyone.
Daddy might have a friend who is into sports. He could have coached daddy's child's little league team. He taught the kids important skills like teamwork and perseverance. The kids really had a great time playing under his coaching and they learned a lot from him.
Sure. One of daddy's friends could be a great cook. He often invited daddy and the family over for dinner. He made delicious meals that everyone loved. It was always a great time to gather around the table and enjoy the food and good company.
