some of the reasons why i should thank you dad


dad, you asked me to type for you a post to be published thanking us, your children for assuming the responsibilities which you claim you failed to fully accomplish. it should be us, your children who should be thanking you for so many things you have done for us... your sacrifices just so that we could grow up to what we are right now. we would never have been who we are if not for you.

i could never ask for more from a father, too. i have learned so much from you. and although i may be a bit of a disappointment to you now for my mistakes in life, and for those i truly am sorry, i would like you to know that without you, i would never have been the person that i am now.there are so many things i learned from you when i was growing up. here are some of them... some reasons why i should thank you.

i could still vividly remember the way you wake us up in the morning. although we sleep late during vacations, which could irritate most parents, you always wake us up in a manner that no one could resist but to wake up just to please you... even how much we want to sleep some more. i could still hear you saying, "Ne, mahal ko, gising ka na. ibili mo sandali ang mommy mo ng isda sa palengke at kawawa naman.". you say this with so much love that though i really want to shout "i still want to sleep.", i would wake up just to please you. this i apply everytime i wake ada up to go to school so as not to ruin her day because i know that waking her up in the way you did, she would be inspired to wake up and would surely have a pleasant day like i had in my childhood. so daddy thank you for waking me up the way you did when i was young. i experienced waking up with such enthusiasm that i know few ever had.

another is your trivia everytime you read or remembered one. you always try to supply us with information as much as you can, sometimes in a form of trivia usually injected in our meals together... like where did the word sandwich start, why did they call the policemen cops and the like. you say them in such a way that we get so interested to listen and learn from them. then we would start laughing at the answers or at one of us who didn't get the joke or the punchline with the others. thank you daddy for those information... and for exerting so much effort to make us well informed and at the same time happy. we are so blessed to have a father who 'creates' time to do these inspite of your hectic schedule.

my interest and prowess in mathematics were because of you. i dreamed of becoming an electrical engineer like you as much as i would like to become a doctor. you were so patient in teaching me math that it made me if not the top, one of them as my teachers, and report cards would attest. and again for this, thank you, daddy.

as i am trying to site reasons to thank you, i noticed that it would be endless and my post is becoming too long yet i have not yet even mentioned the most important things i want to thank you for. this will be too boring for my readers, if i have some. so daddy, i'll end this here. i'll make another especially for the missing ones... your sacrifices for us.


DADDY, YOU ARE THE BEST DAD A DAUGHTER COULD EVER ASK FOR!!!...

NO OTHER DAD COULD REPLACE YOU IN MY HEART AND IN MY LIFE!!!...

I LOVE YOU, DADDY!!!...


from your baby,

yael
