A Special Greeting To My Father

Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday to my Dad Billy!!!

Most Daddies’ girls would often say that theirs is the best daddy one could ever have in this world. I would say mine too. Happy Father’s day to all the Fathers and to my Dad Billy, Happy Birthday, too.

I spent most of my childhood with my Dad alone. My Mom would only be around every weekend because she had to finish college. I was 5 years of age when I finally got a sibling at home. One could just imagine how extricate it is for a father to raise a daughter alone yet he had made it, and it had become even more apparent when another girl had to be brought up in the family with good values.

My Dad is a simple man. He does not even talk that much and has stilt expectations. Despite that, he never made me feel the boundaries of a father-child relationship. He even goes across the board. I am known to be my Daddy's brat, he gives me everything I need which is mostly extended to my extravagant wants. I am a Daddy's girl, I admit. I always wanted to be the best girl he wants me to be and somehow live up with his expectations. I know I failed him at certain times but instead of reminding me of my being a disappointment, he embraced my failures and never say a word at my disgrace.

Now that I have grown and is often mistaken as his mistress, I would say he did a magnificent job. That is to become the best father possible for his two challenging daughters. There are traits I love about my father as much as those I hate about him but I love my Dad so much and I am so proud of him to be my father. He molded my first realization at my very first tender age to the best person I am now. He does not only nurture, nourish, provide and tender his fatherly caress to his two daughters but he stood not only as a guardian but as a friend as well, especially during the times where a father has to be his daughter's best pal to better understand the irony of a child's growth and development.

To all the daddy's girls, daughters and sons out there --love your daddy and never take them forgranted. Do not judge them the way your Moms describe them -- for sure, there were reasons for their shortcomings. Take an extra mile to know them better, as a father who has made you exist today. Spend the most times with them because you will never know when will you see them and be with them again. Tell them how much you love and appreciate all the things they do for you and make them feel how much they are loved in return. Do that everyday and not only on Father's day.
