Growing up, I've never questioned my father why he doesnt bother to buy us this or that. And Yes, Papa is not the know-it-all Dad, he is never the Daddy who would buy us clothes, gadgets, etc but we never questioned him. My father, despite everything that he has been through, has always remained a good father.
Papa and I dont agree with so many things that's why we have this little love-hate relationship. We argue and discuss so many things but we always end up understanding each other.
You know, I never tried to search on the qualities that a father-provider must have on my father. Hindi ko kailan hinanap yung mga wala sa tatay ko. I never felt jealous to some kids who always get to be with their dad for shopping, etc.
My father is my father, he loves me in his own little ways and growing up with this kind of thinking, I thank him and my mother for raising us very well.
Whatever obstacles my father had been through, whatever people may say, I am proud that he is my father and I'd never exchange him for anyone else. Yes, he doesnt give us toys, etc but my father has always taught of us one of the best life's lessons that man can never buy to his kids.
Papa taught us how to be "selfless". I will not elaborate on this one. Yung tatay ko kasi, hindi nan direktang ituturo samin na dapat ganito ka. Ipinapakita nya. How he is with other people makes us proud. Kahit konti na lang matira sakanya, magbibigay pa sya. For my Papa and Mama, it should always be "less for self and more for others..pero enough for all"
I thank God for Papa. I thank God for another year that he has given my father. Happy 56th Birthday, Papa!! I will always be your little girl.
