I'm really touched with the blogs I've read about "my father". So I feel like sharing my feelings and the moments I had with my father. My father was a strict man, and I was stubborn kid.

We were very poor, it was really hard for him to fulfill my wishes. Even riding a bicycle was a dream for me, but he did everything what he could do for us. I used to complain every time to God for the things I don't have in my life. I was not mature to understand the things as well as I can understand today.

I remember that I told him that I'm gonna quit my study if he will not buy a bicycle for me.I said that without noticing the fact that it's really hard for him to make my dream come true. But any how he managed to buy a bicycle for me. My dreams were gone more bigger that his pocket, now I was little mature than before.

I could understand our financial problems, it was very hard for my father to bear the expenses of my education. He was working extra hours to complete our needs, but I never realized his contribution and efforts to fulfill our need. 

I had no idea about the world outside from home, my demands were getting bigger. I was the most stubborn among my siblings. I was grown up, I never had the dare to speak with my father. He was a strict person, i was like if i will say anything rubbish he's gonna punch right at my face. 

One day my father asked me to go somewhere with him, we started to walk. I had no idea where we were going. He said, Ali you're grown up! I'm tired, i can't handle your attitude anymore. Every day your mom complains about you. It's not a good thing that I beat you for your bad attitude with your siblings and with others. You're hell of a young guy, i never showed my bad attitude to my father. He was the one who used to understand my feelings. We were still walking, i felt comfortable with him and i thought that he's really in good mood today. I started to explain the things to him, i told him that my siblings do the things i don't like. They do the stuff I hate, and they keep doing it just to make me angry. And mom always take their side. I always saw his face like he's worried about something, but i never dare to ask him that what are his problems.

In 30th June 2007, My sister got a call from outside. She yelled and she started to cry, the phone was dropped from her hand. I immediately picked the phone and I came to know that my father is dead. I was 17 years old that time. Now I went to a flash back and realized his love for his family. He never talked about his dreams, he was very busy in completing his children dreams. 

I wish I could tell my father that how much I love him. And I'm sorry if i ever hurt your feelings. Please forgive me. Dad I'm taking care of your children, wherever you're please forgive your son. I hate myself dad, i hate when someone says that I'm a nice guy. I hate myself! Please forgive me. You are the best dad in this world. I'm so proud of you. I love you so much.

  • Hey Faisal...it's really a nice write up. But, don't feel in this way, instead you may pray for your father. And, I have learned again, we should be polite towards our parents but I am sorry to say till now I sometimes act like a teen!

    Tara:

    Many thanks for your comment, it's great that you have a good relation with your dad so he can share his good and bad experiences of his life. Also thanks for encouraging me to write more. 

    Luzzy@:

    Many thanks for your kind comment, this is something I can't really forgive myself for. I was very rude and couldn't really understand the things as I do today. I've shared my true feelings with everyone so if anyone is repeating the things I've done in my past so he should stop right away. 

    Salma Ibrahim:

    Thanks for your comment and advice, I'll definitely work on your advice.

    Fluer:

    Many thanks for your kind comment, I know I can't bring him back. But it's not an easy thing to forgive yourself for hurting someone's feeling who's not alive. Also thanks for your advice, will work on it. 

    Kaizen:

    Many thanks for your comment, you're right in some how. 

    Barbare@:

    You're right, we never get known the value of a thing until we lose it.

    Angel@:

    You're right it's so hard to live on your own, A father always help his children to survive in this world. He warns about the threats and opportunities outside from home. But when you stepped outside from your home and you know there is no one to rescue you. You feel helpless and alone.

    M. Hakim@:

    Many thanks for your kind comment, you're right! I'm grown up and understand the things better than before. 

    Sono@:

    Many thanks for your comment. I've shared a true part of my life so someone can get a lesson from my mistakes.

  • Ali, I finished reading your blog with the tears in my eyes!!! Omg, don't be so strict cruel with yourself! I can understand it, you were simply resistant teenager as many people I know. M sure your dad is watching you and he is proud of you for who u r now!!
