Today is a special day. But more special that, is the one today celebrates. My one and only Abah. Selamat Hari Lahir, and Happy Father’s Day. I don’t remember your birthday every year, but certainly I will remember your words. In everything that I do, till now, you have always provided me,(and 5 of us) with valuable advices. Its funny,but I took all your word “to heart”. Usually they are deep, even though you seems just say it in the passing.
Your passion to educate us, is something I adore most. Now I see “lessons” in every aspect of my life. All hardship is a training ground, all the nice memories are the ones I must struggle to preserve. When Im at the verge of breaking up, you remind me that its just a metamorphosis, and I shall emerge as a stunning butterfly. Just do things, be confident, deal with is…. Learn to manage, learn to mold into surroundings… When Im lazy, you reminded me, of what I want to be, what I want to do most. I… may be nowhere right now without your education, without your words, without your faith in me.
Abah tanye lebih2 kat cikgu tu, Iah pandang kerisauan.
The best thing is that, right now, you succeeded to do that while being our friend, by jumping into our shoes. To do the things we do… watch cartoons (You really did enjoy Tom and Jerry, right?), chatting, video conferences… and treat us generously to many wonderful places, many wonderful experiences.
Growing up, and watching my siblings growing up, I began to understand your philosophy in education. You instill strong basics, and let life experiences mold us. You trust us to go away… to learn. You let the elders to guide the younger. I used to feel dissatisfied, coz I thought I had it harsher when I was young. But then I understand, I am also a tutor in the family. I began to understand, the things shared, and the things to be discovered. Why you allowed this, why you say no to that. And forgive us for being rebellious sometimes. It can’t be helped. Sometimes message is lost during translation. It teaches us about communication too.
And thank you very much, for giving us a happy, loving family, a gift not everyone have. Thanks for keeping our family together, our house is really a sanctuary. Seriously, Im truly thankful to Allah for that. I know, that behind us, there’s a lot of unspoken things, things that we wont understand before. You must have worked so hard. We are sorry if sometimes we take things for granted. We never truly experience hardship, in my opinion.
Abah n ibu dapat parenting tips dari pasangan swan ni ke?
I know we have loads of interesting future that will greet us, but Abah, so far, you are doing such a fine job. Thank you for bringing us to this wonderful world. Thank you for caring, for loving, for nurturing us. Someday when we have my own family, we wont forget your everything you told us, and we’ll make sure, the next generation wont forget too.
You are, by far and forever, the most amazing dad I ever know. People may boast about their dad… but hey, they don’t get you. And I don’t want anybody else for a change. I love you soo much. I may fall in love, I may dream of a future family of my own, but you will always always be my most special Abah and you will always be important in our life. I may not be doing a good job now, I may still depend too much on you. You may still have to hold my hands, and Im sure I want to hold your hand forever… but I pray to Allah, may I be able to love you, and to do as much as I can for you before our fate ends, coz Im more than sure, I wont be able to repay you at all. Im sorry if I am not the epitome of a good daughter (malas n always trouble you) , but just know that I love you very very much.
p/s: Thank you to Ibu too. I might downplay your role in this post, because its Abah’s birthday special, but ibu…. You are my everything too!
P/ss: Exam tomorrow!!! Pray for me!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HAPPY FATHER"S DAY
