Those are really nice stories and they are encouraging for others to hear. Thank you for posting them.
I had to giggle when you said you feel your dad around when you are doing something with the business. I can relate to this. Your right he may not have done certain things the way you would. But, it's your business now and your dad will come to understand that and he will see that you are doing just fine and he'll stop visiting you for that reason.
But, look for him other places and at other times.
