Happy PAPA Day! ;)

How to describe my father.

He was a great father, a loving husband to my mother and an excellent provider. He never refused to help a friend or neighbor in need and he knew and had many. I can only imagine what our lives would have been like if he never had to leave but he did. It was sudden and hit me like I never felt. I denied his death (until now) to myself. If he could have been here I know he could have made things much easier. I lost my Papa a month just after my 18th birthday (ang daya.. parang hinintay niya lang na mag-18 ako! :'( and not a year goes by when I don't miss him and wonder what if, I know he watches down on me everyday making sure I'm safe and I look forward to the day I will see him again in heaven ♥ he is always loved and never forgotten. In my honor for my Papa I have never forgotten you, never stopped loving or missing you and always wanting you in my life and to say thank you for always being a part of my life.

 

I want to write I MISS YOU on the rock and then throw it at your face... so that you know how much it hurts to miss and lose you...

For my Papa (RODOLFO DEPAUDHON) to let him know I care;

I will give him my undying love

In his huggable arms I’ll lay,

To let him know I love him so much.

I look up him as my hero,

In his unique ways, I learn to compromise

His kindness always shows

He’s like an angel in disguise.

Though I may not always know

How to show that I care,

I want to let him realize

I’ll always be here.

I love you Papa

I love you now

I’ll love you forever

And that’s a vow.

See you soon (in heaven)!!!

I wish there was stairs that went to heaven so that I could climb them to give you a hugs and kisses on Father's Day. I always think of you and I miss you so much! Happy Papa Day PAPA! I love and miss you so much!

RIP my Papa angel ;)

"A father is the first man that every girl gets to meet. Unfortunately, most girls do not have an intimate relationship with their fathers unlike with their mothers. This maybe because of gender differences and stereotyped stories of most fathers' infidelity, which dislocates their good impression on people. But if you just give time to be with him, you will find out that having a father as your friend is better than flirting with useless boys around.

One thing that most girls love is shopping. You may think that fathers are not capable of going shopping with you, but you are wrong. It turns out that they know better than you do. They can pick out good clothes that will look good on you, in a way that you will be neither outdated nor indecent. As a guy, they know how a girl will look their best.

Most girls are defeated by boys in sports, and in math. But that never happens to daddy's little girls. Playing sports like badminton, basketball, or even chess is a good way of spending time with fathers. These activities not only enhance our athletic abbilities but also give us time to communicate and share experiences. They do not teach us how to win but how to play the game.

One thing I have commonly observed among fathers is their delicious cooking. I ussually boast about my father's extremely mouth-watering meals. He cooks the best adobo and many other foods in the world. Fathers naturally nurture us with love and fresh cooked meals from their heart.

As I grow older, we spend less time with each other, but I make sure that we can have short random chats every time. I have learned much of him from our daily conversations. I realized that he is noty as uptight as I thought, but just demands respect and proper etiquette. He is not also unreasonable, I only needed time to figure out his reasons. And most of all, being conservative is not as plain and dull as I thought because a simple lifestyle is already enough for a happy life. Some fathers may also be the same; it just takes a little step to meet them half way. Communication is indeed very important in keeping connections. I did not only learn about him but also learned from him important values that I should consider - values that cannot be taught by a mother alone.

Even though fathers are fun to hang out with, not many of them are sympathetic. This is why they are mostly different from mothers. As a guy, they have that unspoken rule of being fixed with their emotions. They may not express themselves always, but at times they show it in ways girls are unaware of. They would love to cuddle their little girls, to annoy, and at most times to be over protective. Their controlling behavior is just a way of showing us how much they care.

Fathers may be known to be strict and not as gentle as most mothers are, but that doesn't mean that they care less acknowledged in parenting, they still play an important role in a child's development. It does not matter who did best, what matters is how everything turned out to be. They provide us with our basic needs to the fullest of their capability, even if it means doing crime, or risking their life, just to provide and make their family happy. Their sacrifices are more valuable than the material things they can buy. They don't just make money, but strive to make a home. A father is someone who will remain strong when everyone else loses hope.

Papa, Daddy, Tatay, Papu, Itay, Ama, Dada; whichever one you call him, he will always watch out for his princess."
