What holds most power in your life?

The person that holds the most power in my life is probably my dad. He isn't very strict or loud at all. He is kind of shy till you get to know him better. He owns a business and sometimes it seems like that's all he can talk about. He is there for me when I have my good and bad times, as weird as it is, even with boy problems. Sometimes his answer is to not have a boy friend, but that's not really the point I'm getting to. I look up to him as my hero. He always knows the right thing to say, even when I know he is angry with me. I know he has power over me because if I let him down it will kill me inside. Although, he is very forgiving. If something went wrong in the house between me and my stepmom he will forgive either one of us, depending on who's fault it is. Even though, he let's me have my freedom. Until, once he doesn't know where I am at he gets worried like every other parent. He says no when I ask him for money sometimes. He says no every once in awhile. But as you may know he is a parent and as most parents he has power over me.
