Happy Daddy's Day!

I've heard it said that fathers are their daughters' first loves. I don't know about the other girls, but this is definitely true for me.


Dear Daddy,

Happy Father's Day!

You are my favourite, and my number 1, superhero! Whenever there is anything wrong in my life, I am never too worried because I know you'll always have my back, and that you will always be there to help me fix whatever things is broken my life. From shoes to electronic toys to electrical things to my life and the rough patches in it, you have always been there to pick me up and teach me to try and make the most out of every situation. You have taught me that there is nothing a little superglue and prayers can't fix, and I love you all the more for that.

Thank you for being the leader of the family in every way. You have gone above and beyond the duties of a father for our family, and without a shadow of a doubt we know that you would do anything for us. Your love for us is evident in everything you do for us.

Thank you, daddy, for always putting our family as your top priority. You never put your work or anything else above us, and I remember how you always made the time to fetch us from school or to tuition even though it would be in the middle of the workday. You always made sure you spent as much time as you could with us even when you were busy with work. We were always secure in your love, and we have never doubted that you were always there for us.

You were the one who took the difficult role of the disciplinarian when koko, niko and I were growing up. Thank you for that. I know it must have been difficult for you to discipline us whenever we did something wrong (which was pretty often hehe), but you still did it out of love for us, and because of that, we have grown up to be the men and woman we are today. You have taught us the difference between right and wrong, you have taught us to say what we mean and mean what we say, and you have taught us that discipline is important but should always be done in love, which you've always done. When I read Proverbs 3:11-12, I think of you. The things you have taught us to believe and to do are things I will forever keep in my heart, and I hope that one day, when I have my own children, I will be able to make sure they are brought up with the same principles you have instilled in us.

You are the one person whose words I always trust. If you were to tell me something is safe, I would bet my life that it was. If I have any questions or confusion about anything, especially anything to do with the Scripture, you are my favourite person to turn to, because your passion for the Word of God is so fun to witness, and because you will always explain things such that I would understand, but also encourage me to do my own research and push me closer to God.

If or when God leads me to a guy, he would have very very high standards to uphold because I subconsciously compare them all to you!

There are not enough words to thank you and to tell you how much I love you, so I'll just say thanks for everything! I love you so much!

P.S.: Thanks for being the best partner-in-crime for so many things ;)))
