My daddy is my hero and now he is my guardian Angel.
Everyday I am saddened by the thought of not having him here to share things with and I am even more saddened by the reason why.
I always wonder what life would have been like if he hadn't been taken away so soon..they say people set apart one day to hold memories and celebrate their departed, but for me, not a day goes by when I don't think about him.
My dad loved travelling, when I was young we’d keep moving around and we often be on the road looking at paper maps to decide our route. He used to pick fights with my mom out of no reason except to plan his trip with his daughter.
I had all these memories of eating at different restaurants especially French Cuisines, Chinese where I had snake soup for first and last time..I didn't actually know what were inside soup..I asked my dad but he didn't answer.. Hahaha
When I was in 5th grade, my father died in his sleep from a heart attack.My mom never remarried, never really wanted to. She raised me all on her own and did an amazing job. She got a job and gave me a life just as good as anyone with a mom and a dad.
I would always reminiscence about all the memories and moments I had with my daddy. I would be that one person in the universe who had the most interesting travel stories from encountering snakes, ghosts, storm, rain forest and to meeting all kinds of strangers, to being stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Most people say I am a lot like my daddy, both physically and mentally. We both have the same mannerisms, facial expressions, big stupid forehead,thought processes and a loving heart..hehe
And as badly as I wish my dad could be here now and we could make more memories, I know that he is watching over me and keeping me safe. I know he is looking down on me and I hope he is proud of me.All I wish now is just one more day, one more hour to be able to tell him everything and to be able to give him one last hug and kiss.
Missing the man on this day and everyday for the last 26 years. 😟
There is a difference! Father is generic and given. Dad is specific and earned !
