Father's Day

It has been 5 years since Pa passed away... Although I'm one day late, Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad on Earth.

On this day, I reflect back the days where I wait eagerly for Pa to come home from work; and its not just for the day, but weeks, sometimes months. As he audits different banks all over the country (Malaysia) for long periods of time, moments shared together whenever he is home is treasured to the max! Simple stuff like having dinner, gardening and the occasional holiday out of state are just the things we do to catch up on time as I grew. Best part is when I can join Pa in his work in different parts of the country when school is out.

But it's the small things that I miss most; like how he will give me reflexology and peel the skin off the prawns and save me the best portion of the fish! As he sits on the rocking chair while I laze on the bean-bag watching our favorite shows, X-files, and documetaries.

I inherited a huge amount of my wisdom and skill from my father. And it is time that I listened to his advice that I always took for granted. Even now as I realize and reflect on his advice, I just hope that this empty soul of mine has the ability to take action.

Prayer: Pa, I hope you are at a happier place and don't worry about us. But in the mean time, do protect us and provide the inspiration you always have to everything I do. The next lottery win would be helpful too... kidding!
