What Taylor learned: Allow yourself to change. It's necessary to grow.

• My father, Rahman Sharif, had about three careers over his lifetime and somewhere in between, self-published two books. He showed me the importance of never limiting yourself.
• He gave me (some) patience, my love of bean pies, and my face (Sorry Mom, his genes took over).

What Mike learned: Life is complicated but do the right thing.

• My dad, Larry D'Onofrio Jr., is a hard worker who showed me the importance of supporting those you love.
• He taught me that family is paramount, and gave me confidence and my sense of humor.
