Happy Father's Day Daddy-Yo

I just couldn’t let this Daddy’s Day end without writing something about our Daddy dearest. 

People who have known me or our family so well would definitely agree when I say that our Father wasn’t a Perfect Father to me and my 2 siblings or even a Perfect Husband to our Mom. The transition of our lives from Childhood to Teenage stage was barely even witnessed by our father. There were many happy memories that we only got to share with our Mom and even had a lot of sad and tough times we had to surmount without him. 

When you are younger, you only have such little ability to grasp what is really happening yet all you can do is to hope and pray for things to go back to normal. But as you grow older and you go through life and its many surprises, you learn to understand and accept that things sometimes goes out of hand, plans fail, feelings change and people come and go. You will know when to stop hoping for things that seems unlikely to happen but you start building dreams, move on and move forward. 

Like what we all did. I finally stopped hoping for our family to be complete again when I was in college. I guess it’s because of the fact that both our parents have long accepted and moved on with their own lives. But then again, God really has his own way of granting your prayers even at the times when you have given up on things..but of course we also have our Father to thank with for realizing his faults, asking for forgiveness and finally deciding to make things right. Also to our Mother for accepting him back again and giving him another chance not to be a Perfect but a Better Husband and Father to us three. The 13 long and challenging years of our lives with his bare presence seemed to have just never existed. We may have been all grown and matured persons when he came back to us but the child within us felt unimaginable happiness.

This post is for our Dad, we pride ourselves in saying that it’s not only during this kind of occasions do we get to express how much we love and value him as our father. He may have been physically and mentally absent during our growing up years but he is making it up to his grandchildren now.  

­­There are still moments of him asking for forgiveness and feeling guilty of many things he could and could have not done in the past and we never get tired of telling and showing him that we love him just the same.

Yes, he is not PERFECT and so are all of us. Despite all the odds, We still love and will continue to love him nothing less.

He’s one of the best blessings one could ever have.

Happy Father’s Day Daddy-Yo, We always pray for your good health. We Love you.
