A man behind every
girl’s story. A son’s first hero and a daughter’s first love. An Angel sent
from heaven. They are our father. Someone that holds your hand at the fair , makes
sure you do what your mother says, holds back your hair when you are ill, holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break
the rules, brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too
busy, lets you eat ice cream for breakfast but
only when mother is away, he walks you down the aisle and tells you everything’s
going to be okay, shines with pride when you
succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail.
People
are different in their own way. Your father may be like strict, kind,
mother-like, considerate and affectionate, thoughtful, genius, hardworking,
over protective, or defensive. My father was like all of the above. He’s very
considerate and loving like my mother, defensive like a lawyer, strict as a
teacher, clever as an author and thoughtful like a friend to me.
“Sir
Gloria”, that’s the typical name called by his co-leagues, friends, students
and other ordinary people who have known him for his profession. But for me,
he’s just the greatest father whom I call “Daddy”. He’s mostly recognized
because of his vocation and thriving background. As a professor, you would
think he is harsh. But as a father, he is a very down to earth person. A very
generous and open-handed person. Like every father, he always thinks what’s
best for his children. He always tells me what’s right. It’s not because I’m
already in high school, that I can’t make mistakes. I’m so lucky to have my
father, who’s always there to teach me a lesson that I felt I have grown up as
a better person. He’s like a best friend to me, willing to give advice, lend
something you don’t have, listen to your problems and be there when you needed.
He always sees to it that I’m okay.
“Dads are most
ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, singers of
songs.” - Pam Brown. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give
another person, he believed in me. I've been on this incredible journey and
I've seen and learned so much. I thank my father so much for all his support,
love, and trust in me.
