Sunday....Father's Day

Today is Sunday and it's Father's Day, I just want to commend all father's especially my fave father in the world, who else, my Dad Jack.
Well, my Dad and I don't have a close relationship as well as my other siblings...well there are a lot of reasons, but basically we never grew up beside him, he was working for 16 years in the middle east so as expected, we dont' have that really close bonding with him, and we were on our early adolescents when he decided to retire and just stay here in Manila.
But don't get me wrong, I love my Dad, so much it's just we don't talk especially now, he usually have this mood swings, sometimes he is obsessive compulsive, attributed to his diabetes, sometimes I feel he hates the world he hates everything around, one simple mistake could really make his day...but still I love him.
Around 4 years ago we had this major fight that we didn't talk for a while, and he hates me so much that he didn't mind every move I take, it was around that time where I needed to know where I'll go, after college I was struggling to have a job...I really hated him for uttering words that really destroyed my belief in myself...but it's him, he can be so hard on me or even to my other bros and sis but I know he just says those things but really he don't mean it (at times, that is)
Lately, I have been telling my two sisters to try to understand our Tatay, he maybe hard to handle sometimes but he gave his best to us to be a father, a provider and a friend among 5 of his kids.
Today is Sunday..Father's day, I know I shouldnt just commend him because it's father's day, but just because he deserves to be thanked, for all the things he has done and is doing..though he can be hard at times and he would just seem not to mind us, I know he is still a father though not at his heart but my heart I firmly believe that he is doing his best to make up for the times he failed to teach me how to pedal a bicycle, go fishing and rowing in the river, or teach me simple math while I was in grade one...or hug me while I was having that immunization...I know he has to sacrifice being away from us just to give me the education I needed...not withstanding the times where he failed to be present during my first communion or when my principal handed my awards....I didn't understand him then but I do now.
Tatay, thanks for everything, I know I am not vocal about it but I do love you, Iam not good in saying it but I hope I make you feel that you're the best dad in the whole world..and I wudnt trade any father for you..youre great in your own way and Iam proud that you are my Tatay.
Thanks for being my fan when you watched me sing in the videoke the last time we had our family trip..all were asleep but you watched me till I quit singing that May...
Happy Father's Day and I do love you....Tatay
