I guess he doesn't know how much I look up to him. He is just so knowledgeable and responsible in various aspects - be it in his work or to our family especially by the fact that he has never let us down before. Also, he's very protective towards me just so that I won't get hurt. I'm just so proud to be his daughter.
My dad used to be a very hot-tempered person. I still remember the day when he locked my brother and I up in the room and caned us just because we were naughty. That was really terrifying because nobody was allowed to come in to 'save' us. Also, there was once when I failed my math paper and he literally ignored me for the next few day :'( But I can see the drastic change in him now as time passes.
Although he appears to be very indifferent on the surface at times, he would always pay attention to little things that I say or those casual remarks on my cravings, and try to get it for me as long as it is within his limit. People around me, especially my mum, could see how much he dotes on me and treats me like a little princess which is why at times my mum would say I am pampered by him. That's his way of showing his love to me without saying sugarcoated words.
I really miss the feeling of holding his hands when I was young. It makes me feel so safe with him being around. As we start to get older, do you realize actually our parents are ageing too? I'm really afraid by the fact that my parents would actually leave me one day. I can't afford to lose any of them because losing your loved ones is indeed an awful feeling. Just like how I lost my dearly grandmother back then. I think I rely too much on my parents that I don't know what am I without them.
Dad, I know you don't fancy presents/cards but still hope that you'll love the present from us because it's the thought that counts ok T.T anyway, thanks for your unconditional love and care that you've showered me for the past 17 years. I doubt I'll ever find a man who loves me as much as you do. Thanks for slogging your guts out just to give us a comfortable life. I know at times we might asked too much which probably might have stress you out but whatever it is, I'm contented. Really. You never fail to give us what we want each time when brother and I asked for something. Like bro's laptop, my compact camera etc. You must have cost a bomb on both of us so I want you to know that, I would definitely work hard, not only for me, but also for you and mum, and provide you two a better life.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.
I love you more than you can ever imagine. Thanks for being the best dad in the world and I want to continue to be your daughter for the next life!
