another biblical dyad-Paul and Timothy

Sometimes, when being a grown-up as Paul, I would like to be rejuvenized as Timothy who has an awesome 'father'.  For sure, spiritually or even mentally, I long for someone to coach me and stand  me up as close as father-and-daughter; just like the dyad Paul-and-Timothy.

Mindful!  Father is not always soft, sometimes, it is iron-to-iron.  Tough?  Am I strong enough or bold enough to absorb all comments ?  Will I rebuke? 

Somehow, I do have a few Paul in my life, when I am willing to be Timothy.
