"Daddy's Little Angel" a Father's Day Special

It was exactly 10 years ago when I last spent my childhood years with my dad, i just had fragments of memories such as playing the piano with him while singing along or having him buy me a toy i really liked. You see, in an early stage of my life i lost the privilege of having a whole family and like all kids during this phase, it was the time when i realize the value of having a dad or a mom. At first i hardly see any difference, but gradually everything changed.

I moved to the Philippines to study on my own since my parents decided to still stay in HK to work. My mom visits quite often and that i was grateful of, but as weeks, months and a year passed by i barely knew who my dad was, he would call but what would we actually talk about? My teenage self was not at all excited to see him after a year or two, it wasn't because i hate him for being far away, it was because after a while i had this fear of disappointing him, that somehow the next time i see him i had to actually "think" what i had to say. He too i believed felt the awkwardness, but it didn't take long when he started joking around where every thing seemed to be in the right place once like before. Proven from what i had that distance can never come between a father's love to its child.

Since then i cherished every chance i had with him, we may not have the quantity of time together but the quality of a weeks vacation was more than enough for me to get through the next 12 months. Now being with him makes it more overwhelming. He has done more for me and my mom in his lifetime than he ever has for himself. He is for me the most unselfish man i have ever know in life.

Even though i' am now 22, i will always be Daddy's Little Angel.
Thank you for making me the luckiest girl for having you, I love you Pa!
