What are your fondest memories with your Dad? :-)

[beyee]

(MODS: I checked in the search button, I can't see any thread on this one... if I happen to overlook, please close this thread nalang.)

I saw a very touching TVC by thinkfamily.org through Facebook about the ups and downs between a Father-Daughter relationship. I just thought about my Dad who has always been my bestfriend since I was little. Grave jud among bonding since bata pa ko, that's what I always tell my friends. So to further give credit to a very special man in my life, lemme count the ways of how blessed I am to have the coolest Dad ever!

(excerpts nalang k gghan man jud hehehe)

... I used to be so reluctant in going to school back in Pre-Elem days that my Dad had to bribe me with icecream before we go to school... take note, that's icecream for two schoolyears in Kinder and Prep!

... Whenever I used to have colds and cough, he always put Vicks on my neck, back and chest so I won't have a hard time breathing

... Every Card Day in school, with honors or without the merit cards, he would still bring me to Wimpy's (wala pay Mcdonalds sauna) or Brutus or Ding How as a reward

... From Grade School til High school, he never fails to send me flowers on my birthdays and V-days because according to him, he wanted that he will be the first man to give me flowers before I have my first boyfriend

... but most of all... this one tops my list... when I had my first heartache (my 1st ex broke up with me), my Dad was there beside me and cried with me until I felt so much better... Never did I hear him say, "I told you so..."

Thank you so much Dad for giving me the best childhood that a kid could ever have... Love you so much!

@beyee nasuya lagi ko

since my father died when i was around 12, i don't remember much. i also wonder if the few memories i have of him are accurate. i don't think we got close, but i'm pretty sure he worked hard for my education and for his young family at that time.

wooowww beyee! Your dad is indeed cool. same tah ug experiences sah atong mga dad except my dad didn't bribe me with ice cream when I was a little kid! hehe. 'cos I grew up with my grandparents.

then when I was 12 years old gikuha nako nila. Dili mi close sah akong dad before. I hate it when he's around! hehe. but then that changed like when I was 13years old. we go shopping almost every weekend 'cos he knows that it's my favourite hobby. HAHA. he's the one who says YES or NO to the clothes that I'm going to buy. (mura xha ug bayot! hehe pero dili xha bayot ha.) we go to the mall the minute it open && go out the minute it close. LOL funny nho?

in short he's my SHOPPING BUDDY!
I love my papa! He's awesome. even tho he's über strict! tsssk.

He is an Acht. He goes to his drawing board every dawn. i was in grade 2 that time. i study at dawn too.
i woke up too early 1tym. that was 1am, at the same tym my father woke up too. i used to stand on a chair
to reach the switch of our flourescent lamp. when i was standing on that chair trying to reach the switch my father also reach the switch. instead, he had hold my hand.
not knowing
that was me much taller than him, HE SHOUTED TOO LOUD WITH A VERY FRIGHTENED (DILI XA BAYOT HA... HEHE),
I SCREAMED SO LOUDLY TOO.
The whole family woke up and my father hugged me tightly that time coz i fell down.
every1 was laughing with wat happen..
