Remembering Dad...

Remembering dad on Fathers day... I just can't believe dad passed away 14 years ago. I was 14 then and now I am 28. Time flies... really fast. I remember when i was a little kid, I would cry so hard every time I miss dad coz he worked abroad. So mum gave me a picture of him and pasted it on the wall beside my bed, so every time i go to sleep it is as if dad was beside me. But as i was growing up as a teenager, my relationship with dad changed. We were not as close as we used to be. Maybe because he wasn't with us all the time coz he had to work abroad just to put food on the table for us. But I love him so much. I just did not express it to him.

It is really true, when someone is gone thats the time you will realize how important that person is to your life. I have realized that. Dad was important to me.

Oh God! I miss him. I miss looking forward to dad's homecoming.. I miss spending my birthdays, Christmas and New Years day with Dad. Fourteen years ago was the last time i saw him, that was the month of February year 1994 and after 3 months we just received a call that he died of a massive stroke at work. Biggest regret of my life was not being able to tell him that I love him so much and how much i value him as my Father. And how lucky I am to have a father like him.


And now, when I feel so down here in England and if I feel upset at work and about to give up everything I have worked hard for, I just think of my father on how much hardwork and sacrifice he invested for his family. He sacrificed being away from us so we can have a better future and a better life. And here I am, with a better future and a better life. Thanks to him..... I am sure he is very proud of me. I know he may have left physically from me but I know he never left me... he is just around watching.. He is my angel.

Pa, I know its not too late to tell you. I love you and miss you so much. You're the best father there is. Missin you loads.... Remembering you on Fathers day... Love you, pa.
