Father’s Day all day
June 19, 2009So maybe I greeted my dad a Happy Father’s Day a week early, as I was told that Father’s Day always falls on the 3rd week of June. That was probably the reason why he replied by asking me if I was sure of what I greeted him. Ha.
It doesn’t really matter. After all, letting your dad know how much you love and appreciate him shouldn’t just happen on the 3rd week of June. (Or the 2nd, if I may insist).
I am proud to have such a wonderful dad. Two years since I moved out of our home to work in the big city, he can still be a crick in my neck, constantly reminding me of things as if I was still a little girl. He’d always tell me to refrain from nights-out that last until the wee hours of the morning; to eat right and at the right time; limit my spending and save more. And when I’d go home on occasions, he’d still cross his brows whenever guys called; pick on my “too-short” clothes, and even impose the Cinderella curfew on me.
But then I guess that’s just my dad’s way of saying that even though I’m all grown up and living my own life now, I am still and will always be his little girl. My dad will always be the number one person in my life. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am now. And oh, I’m just so eager to tell him when I go home next month that I’m going to become a published author very soon. (Yep, the opportunity has finally come, at long last!)
To my dad and all the other dads out there, Happy Father’s Day!
An inspiring book that shows what a father truly is for - to be that role model and hero above other things.
