Happy Father's Day to all fathers out there!!! :) yah, i know it was yesterday.. but since my father is not around anymore ( hes now my angel ), the real day doesnt bring significance to me.. although its my tradition to greet all the father that are close to me, either i make it a day before the celebration or a day after..
I was a daddy's girl... My big bro was (or i should say still) a mamas boy.. :) I guess that is always the scenario... Even i just had 15years with my father (he passed away when i was 15..) his worth as a father is incomparable and for me, he is still the best dad this world has ever had....
He was very proud of me...
at the age of 1 to 3..mind you, i was born with cute tiny dimples that catchd people's attention haha!! i was born already with a pleasant disposition in life.. he hugged me with so much love and treated me like a princess..
at the age of 4 to 6... i got the talent of talkin to people, singing ( i didnt have the voice though), dancing, hyperactive, bubbly lil girl!.. he would bring me almost anywhere he goes, (at the camp, farm, mountains, friend's house ) he exposed me to different kinds of people..carpenter, businessman, colonels, barangay captains, farmers,priest, generals..
at the age of 7 to 12 ... he taught me how to value education.. he imparted on me lessons in life and emphasized that quality achievements will mold me of who i will become in the future... i always wanted him to pin my ribbons and medals.. he was very proud of me..he was my constant voice at home whenever i want to join things like girls scouting, extra curricular activities in school, my mom that time was very particular of the things i wanna join in..
at the age of 13 to 15.. he taught me to aspire and set goals.... he wasnt strict at all .. he wanted me and my bro to experience life and he never ran out of advice.. he was a cool dady that he even wanted me to have suitors, "coz like a flower without beez around it would mean its ugly".. that was his usual line :)
A week before he passed away,( he was havin Rheumatic heart disease), he told me to take up Veterinary Medicne.. my mother was yelling, contradicting his plans for me.. mom wanted me to take up Accounting in UST.. She hated the idea of me getting involved with cows, and carabaos, and horses, with all her morbid imagination that these creatures would lead me to fractures, traumatic experiences etc.. but my dad simply told her... "I want my daughter to grow up dealing with people..i want her to work with the different kinds of people from the society.. the poor and the rich.. i dont want her working or staying in a four-corner room with uniforms..I want her to value life..animals ,people... all the like "
Well, we had no choice but to choose VETERINARY MEDICINE from the course list of UP and took the UPcat examination.. and before i knew it, years and years later,i finished the degree smilling and proud ... and so grateful that i simply followed what he wanted me to be..
If im goin to elaborate all the things he has done for me, it will take me years to tell it... I miss him everyday, during my ups and downs, when im sick, when im scared, ... but surprisingly, his spirit pushes me to move on, and encourages me to just take life as it is, enjoy it... Ive gone this far because of him..and Him... my two Fathers that guide me and love me unconditionally..
Happy Father's DAy to my uncle Kleng, to my Brother Maky....
God bless us all..
Hmmmm..... a fren of mine texted me this morning...she also greeted me and said Happy father's day sa mga lalakeng gagawing mong ama!! harharhar!!! that made my day :)
