describe a friend of your family

describe a friend of your family 550wP

I'm going to talk about one of my father's friends who was like a family friend to us and I was the dearest one for him in my childhood. He used to visit our house frequently. if I'm not mistaken it goes back to more than 20 years ago when I first saw him. we called him dr Hindi because he was a dr from India. to describe him in terms of appearance he was relatively tall with a slim figure. he was dark-complexioned that's why he was different from the rest of the people I had seen before. characterwise he was the kind of person we could count on whenever we came up against a problem. He was a true friend of my father in all senses of the world. they had a lot in common that's why they spent a lot of time with each other. I didn't like him at first I was actually afraid of him however he Grown on me over the days. His kindness was beyond question he usually surprised me for instance he gave me a doll which I still have. although he was older than me, we got along incredibly well. Dr Hindi was someone who I really looked up to because Not only was he a competent doctor but he was also skilful in painting He taught me how to paint professionally. unfortunately, he returned to his country and we lost contact
