HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
Everyone knows I have a dad whom I look up to very much. He is a very strong and wise individual whom I always go to for inspiration, perspectives and advice. He is always there for us despite his own troubles. This year, I'd think it is especially tough for him, with my grandma stricken with cancer; we saw him juggling work and also taking care of grandma. It wasn't easy and he fell sick. And a lot of other factors came in and the family gone through some rough patches. But dad has resiliently stayed strong to keep things together for everyone despite how tired he is. He has learned to try accommodate and make things work for everyone else.
He is a pillar of strength for everyone and sometimes, I wonder if he ever want to give up. I bet he does, but he will never tell us. And that's why my dad deserve all admiration. He does too much for us, he only thinks about us most of the time and neglecting his own needs. I also admire how he endures all challenges in life with optimism, when he had every right to just give up on things. I will forever remember he said this, "Looking back, didn't we make it through all the challenges."
These words have helped me through a lot.
Although there are times when I totally disagree with my dad's thinking, I know that a huge part of me is shaped directly and indirectly by his principles and values - and I am proud of that.
So I'd like to wish my dad a Happy 57th Birthday again this December 3!
