From Your Daughter
Father's day was 4 days gone and I am 96 hours late.
And god forbid I actually forgotten when was Father's Day because different countries celebrate them on a different day. NOT VERY EASY TO REMEMBER!
But now that I am writing this, Father's Day (in Singapore) falls on every third week of June.
It makes perfect sense why June and not any other month because it's the holidays and that's when the Papi's get to come out and play with the kids WHILE they are on school vacation.
My Father however, was a Say-No-To-Fathers-Day sort.
He would say things like : Do you know that Father's Day was to celebrate the Priest (Father)?
or Why need to go through the trouble to celebrate for fathers on 1 day when you can do it everyday? Every time he says this he will make hand gestures trying to make his point MORE obvious.
Aiyo.
He doesn't know what Father's Day meant to ME.
No matter how much mistakes he has made ( I can't recall much) his goodness outweighs it all.
The one quality that I love most about him is that he is:
Knowledgeable and observant.
He knows that there is a statue on the top of Parkview Square when we barely know where Parkview Square is. He is someone I can talk to about money and cents and to think that he wasn't a graduate or anysort. He is just so Dad.
I remembered the times when I was less smaller than a toddler and he brought me to the pool every weekend. He will have me wearing my flower printed dolly hat and a flowery dress and carry my blue buoy with him.
I also remembered something that happened just last year when he called me and screamed to me in expense of happiness when I got into SIM. Ironic because I didn't want SIM, but he was so happy for me that I should really share the happiness with him.
He worked so hard to get my university loan (after the crazy process was through) and when the loan was finally approved, I called him about the news and he was again screaming in the expense of RELIEF and HAPPINESS this time and said he was crying on the other line.
Look where I am standing today? And if not for him, I am just another soul-ess egg.
He said I'm his girl. And true, all girls will always be daddy's girl.
Happy Father's Day dad.
You won't get to read this, but you know we love you.
