My dad is a hero

Since the time my dad is retired from his official job, he has been looking for various activities to keep himself occupied and interested. There are days when he is very busy with activities varying from "visiting our hometown and spending good times with his old mates" to "engaging himself in spiritiuality and prayers" to "pulling my Moms leg the entire day followed by the three fourth of the night". And then there are days when he sleeps for 14 hours a day and finds it difficult to find new ways of spending time and keeping himself busy.
During one such phase, he decided to engage himself in learning car driving and joined motor driving school. Everyone at home were very excited about my Dads decision to learn driving at 65. He started learning. He was scheduled to take classses for 25 days and then, the driving school would get him his Driver's License.
Subsequent 25 days, All of us spent our dinner time mostly engaged in talks about the driving and My dads experience with it... After about 25 days, My dad was done with all his classes and for my dismay, I sensed that he was not very keen in giving his tests for getting his driving license. I started wondering if it was, for, he was not confident in passing the driving tests. I pursued him a couple of times to go ahead and get his driving license. My dad was unusually reluctant. Then I decided, it was time to see him drive our car. When My Dad tried, we realised that the trainer had not taught my dad how to drive completely and he was not comfortable driving a car on his own.
Finally me and my younger brother decided that we will train him on driving a car and for next few weeks my younger brother who is very good at cars and driving managed to teach my dad the basics of driving a car. Finally Dad fixed up an appointment at 10AM on a thursday morning, with Motor driving class and Road transport Officers to give his driving test.
In comes thursday morning, I and both my brothers started preaching dad, the basics of driving. We told him to be confident, not to worry about the car indicators etc and only to concentrate on driving slow and steady. Also we told him to adjust the seat to his comforts and wear a seat belt, before starting ignition. We also told him to drive barefoot instead of wearing sandals for we felt that, it would enable him with better grip and control over clutches and brakes.
As my younger brother went to drop my dad to Road transport office, My mom said to me and my elder brother 'While you were kids, this is how your dad used to send you guys to your exams, asking you to double check if you had carried the hall tickets, extra pencils, eraser etc, and reminding you to go through all the answers once, before returning the answer sheets and so on". I felt very touched and thats when I realised why my Dad keeps becoming more and more adorable everyday and why "My dad is the biggest hero of all times" for me.
