Yesterday was Father's Day and I wondered how many of us bothered to wish the most important man in our lives (after God), Happy Father's Day. If you have not or somehow blatantly didn't want to or forgot, I wish you all the best in your life. When you're a parent in the future you would want your kids to hand you that special wish.
I would like to blog in response to my sister's post. Since she has written so much (practically 99%) about my dad, I would write about him from MY point of view.
To me, my dad was the closest thing I ever had as a child. Did you know that I was a daddy's girl when I was in primary school? LOL I did everything with my dad. I played sports, games and even tried to be like my dad. He was a role model that I looked up to.
I remembered the times when he wanted to go have a game of golf and I would be standing in his way to stop him. I would then resort to tears and trust me, it didn't work most of the time. There was even this one time when he played badminton with my neighbour's nephew and I got so jealous that I stormed into the house and started crying (again).
As age caught up, I grew closer to my mom but I rediscovered this year, due to the long break that I'm having, what an awesome father I have. I quote my sister when she said that he's so patient. I would say that he is the most patient man I've ever met in my life. I just stand amazed at how he has such God given patience. Unlike most stereotypical strict, fierce and untouchable fathers, never once has my dad picked up the cane to hit me and my sis. That is why I find it hard to believe when my friends tell me how unapproachable their dads are.
So thank you for being there for 17 and three quarters years of my life Pa. God willing there are plenty of years together in the future. I love you so much (and yes, it is applicable to Mommy too =D).
