To My FathEr on fatheR's Day

It has often been cited that the good values and teachings parents give us, is essential for the future foundation of who we become as an adult. I have had the privilege having amazing parents, in particular my father - the person who has taught me the essentials I require in order to live the way I am doing.

I live in a country where most families do not celebrate Father's Day, even if fathers are very well honored and respected because of their roles in the family. My father lives in village far away from me. It is hard living without parent together. 

Although we don't really celebrate Father's Day, I always remember my father during the special day. Father's day is always a special day. My dad taught me how to be good to all irrespective of how physically challenged the person is, which happens to be one of his favorite subjects to discuss and I remember once I was briefed when I cheated a physically challenged woman in my village. It was too touching that I shed tears. I would look back on such moments with joy and a good lesson taught. My mother told me if you harm others and cheat, he will be always brief you and is always like that. I smiled. And today I remember this and smile.

Though my father is uneducated, I bet he is far better than few educated lords. He don’t know how to read but he knows how to become equivalent to a good reader in behaviors and mannerism. And now I am very happy that he is attending Non-formal education class after his hectic day works in village.

Essentially, for the most part of my life, my dad has been one of my biggest rocks, who ground me secure and focused on the pursuit of my dreams.  I have accomplished almost everything because of him and his perspective on never giving up.  The father's day, I now spent without my father is at times difficult. However, the requisite lessons he has taught me will always be a major part of who I am.   Consequently, for such reasons, my father is dear even though he is far away.

One of the major lessons I was taught was his perseverance, positive attitude and mannerisms even against all odds.  Lesson like this has restored in me.

In all, for me the strong sense of mannerisms of my father continues to linger. Remembering my dad not only on father's day but on a daily basis and this is the best father's day gift I could now give him with gratitude. 

Good luck my Yabchen
