A TRIBUTE TO A FATHER

Everybody has a father and today is their special day. I'm happy for having quite a good father and i'm terribly missing him right now. A father who's been quite good and understanding. He may not be a perfect one but nevertheless i can proudly say that i'm thankful that he's my father for he's a great man. I dunno if i regret that i'm not with him before he left this world but i don't think i can also stand to see the moment when he's leaving us. It has been 5 years but i missed him more each day. I miss the days he cooks for us...the dinuguan with lots of eggplant. I remember cracking up on him on this recipe because i'm not vegetable lover so i'd brag at him saying why there's much eggplant when i love meat. Oh those days when he pulls me beside him just to tell me 'Neng stay here, you should learn how to cook and you need hang around when someone cooks, watch and learn. As a girl you should learn how to cook.' And so he was also the one who teach me basics on how to cook rice back when there's no rice cooker yet...pointing out how the water level should be for every rice to put in. I dunno if it's because i'm the youngest that i'm closer to him, always wanting to be with him eversince i was a kid. I used to joke on him on his features like his eyebrow shape and why is it quite few..his hair which usually is coated with pomade, styled ala 'Noli de Castro'...yes he loves it when somebody tells him they're alike when it comes to hairstyle. Whenever he's drunk that's the time he can only say how he feels...those wisdom thoughts i miss so badly and our family song which is kinda cheesy but it never is when we use to sing them together...it goes something like this

i need you in my life,
i need your love and care,
yes i love you so much!
i want you i need you in my life
there's no one in this world who can love you the way that i do
please believe me, believe me my love...i need you in my life

He's someone i turn to whenever i needed advise.  He's a friend, brother and father all rolled into one.

'Tay i'll miss you forever...you'll always be in my heart

So for those who still have their father with them, be thankful. You're lucky because you still have him in your life. Father's are also humans so whenever they have flaws you've got to embrace them and love them for they are your very own father and nobody could ever replace them.

Here's the song that never fails to make me cry:


HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THE FATHERS ALL OVER THE WORLD...CHEERS!
