The Rock: My Father Made Me The Man I Am Now
The Rock addressed the death of his father, telling his fans of the way he was able to repay his father for helping turn him into the man he is today.
"Over the years, I've moved him into a big home, got him trucks to drive - which he'll literally drive into the ground until I get him something else. Hell, I'll get him anything he wants, but the SOB just won't ask;). Every Christmas, I always think about that story and my dad having every odd stacked against him at 13, but he fought through it and still made something of himself. Makes me appreciate his struggle and hard work," he wrote.
