Most of the time we are most thankful for our mother but it is also a great blessing in our lives if we feel much love with our father. I must admit my father is a single parent when I was a child and that time I was secured with his love, most of my good memories with him are the best gift in my life. Even though he passed away his love is still in my heart to cherish forever.
He is still young when he had me but still, he took the responsibility alone. I was a month old when my mother left us. I know it is such a big responsibility to take care of a month old baby but with the help of my grandmother, I felt so much love at that time.
Most of the time I am very sick but my father is always there to monitor me even he is so tired after his work in construction. I spent most of my childhood with him, even if he will have a gathering with his friends he always brings me with him. We went to this leisure park called Luneta park I remembered every detailed of the place even if I was so young, there are a lot of people gathered all around with a picnic with there own family, children are playing, there are a lot of toys, my father always bought me a lot of toys. I remember so well how he put me to his lap and I will fall to sleep when we are riding on a bus.
Every achievement that I had he was the first to commend me. I feel secure with his love even though he had his own family.
This is his picture with my son on his christening day.
Time flies so fast I have my own family been so busy most of the time I will admit I did not spend much time with him when I grow up and that is my biggest regret in my life. I never imagined that he will leave me so soon, that I don't give him much time to make him feel how much I love him.
Sorry to hear about your father. I'm sure he's in a better place now. 🙏
