My Father The Faithful Husband
In response to this month's writing challenge, let me share to you a few things about my father.
He's a senior citizen who loves to watch NBA games - a fanatic of LA Lakers. He also likes to watch current affairs programs and read newspapers. He taught me the importance of reading, and how it would keep me abreast on the latest happening in the country. He's quite opinionated on certain issues, so I can say that he's a natural conversationalist.
When my mother died, he spent his time by conscientiously supporting the family; acting as both mom and dad at the same time. It wasn't easy for him raising six children while working as a jeweller. What a multi-tasker he was, indeed! He also reminded us to be responsible in doing the chores at home, in our studies and be helpful to each other.
I used to tease him to find a new life-time partner, but he just didn't like the idea. Perhaps he had made a promise to my mom that he'd be faithful to her until his last breath. If my mother were still alive, she would receive unconditional love and devotion, as well as sublime attention from my dad.
Though he was stricken with illness due to aging, he didn't let it affect his desire to bond with his grandchildren. Some of them are already grown-ups and have their own jobs. By the way, he took care of them when they were youngsters. Whenever he's not busy, he would hang-out with the little ones in an amusement park or treat them in a fine restaurant. He loved the idea of surprising them with presents, too!
On behalf of my siblings, I'd like to dedicate this blog to our father. I wholeheartedly wish him vigor, health and longevity. I'll continue to try my best to give him my utmost care (with positive thoughts and prayers). This may sound cheesy, but I can proudly say that he's the best father I have ever had.
Do you celebrate Father's Day in your country? What are the memorable experiences you've had with him?
