Summary

This quote suggests that the individual in question tried to emulate their father, possibly in terms of their career, beliefs, or actions. However, there was a noticeable and irregular variation in the way they carried themselves and executed those footsteps. This could indicate that although they tried to follow their father's path, they added their own twist or deviated from it in some manner. It highlights the idea of attempting to live up to a familial legacy while simultaneously showcasing individuality or a tendency to veer off course.
