Happy Father's Day

Just a few days after my parents both celebrated their birthdays, it's Father's Day.

I can't imagine what I'd do without my dad.. he's one of the very few men in my life who have this overwhelming level of confidence in me. He's a workaholic, a great influence in my life. Whenever i need some advice, he's there. And like most fathers, he expects the best for me. Whatever he's capable of providing for me, be it an impromptu txt msg, or time to have dinner with me, he does it. And he spoils me.

I remember the first time he came with me to London before i started my first year in uni. Saying bye was hard.. but nothing brought more tears than the last txt he sent me before his plane took off for home. Something along the lines of "Take care of yourself, study hard. Be my proud girl. We love you".

And then there was the time I just started my 3rd year when he came over to visit while on transit from Washington. He said Just watching you these past 3 days, I can see how much you've grown up. I know you can take care of yourself. I'm so proud of you..

And so, the tears started again. Im a very emotional person, i get triggered off just like that. Apatah lagi if it comes from my dad. The one man whose opinion matters the most to me.

If i were asked to put down in words everything i want to say to my dad, i wouldnt be able to do it. There are too many ways to say it, yet at the same time, never enough.

So in the simplest possible way, which says the most.. Daddy, I love you. Happy Father's Day. <3
