My dad wasn't too fond of my shaved head for the first month but he has started to say that I should keep it. It feels good when your family comes around to liking the sly you.
We were at our local scuba shop teaching a class when the owner came in and got some tanks filled(this guy has a SERIOUS comb over), I went into the bathroom and he asked my padre, "What the heck is with that haircut?" Without missing a beat, my dad replied, "It is better than a comb over." It was great, I could hear the whole thing through the bathroom door. My dad isn't bald yet but he does buzz his hair down fairly close. -

That's awesome man, glad to hear that!
My mom has come to accept and like it, however my dad is a different story. He still isn't fond of it, and everytime I do it, he just gets all quiet. Oh well, he'll come around. -

It DOES feel great when family supports you. It makes me happy to hear about a father showing some love for his son. Congrats man.
And to any fathers that might be reading...take a minute and show your kids some support and love. It really is important. And if you already do it, well kudos! Do it some more.

Yeah this is encouraging. I have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks, tons of family and friends will see my sly for the first time. I already know a lot of the reactions from the older family members won't be great, but I'm hoping my cousins and friends dig it.
That's awesome how your dad stood up for you! -
