Happy Fathers’ Day to all Fathers today!

Today is my hubby’s first Fathers’ Day. I see what an amazing dad and hands-on dad he is to Naj. It is not easy to be a hands-on dad to a very active and kulit 11-months old but he can manage him. I am not afraid to leave him with Naj when I have somewhere else to go. I prefer to travel or go malling if J is with me. I can handle Naj better as long as he is around. I am happy that Naj has strong male figure in his life.

I wanted to make his first Fathers’ Day special so I prepared him a special breakfast before he goes off to work as well as a special dinner. I cook crabs for the first time. He loves crabs, you see.

Today is a special day for all fathers. I have three special people to greet for today.

MY PAPA

Happy Father’s Day Pa! I admire your gentle spirit, your youthfulness, your dedication, your work ethics and corny sense of humor. Being an OFW myself now, I realised how much you’ve sacrificed for us in order to give us a good future. It is not for the faint-hearted to be far from your loved-ones, to be away from the comforts of a good home and battling loneliness & homesickness. I love you always!

MY BRO

Happy Father’s Day Bro! You did a great job in raising a witty, thoughtful, loving, funny and innovative child. I admire how you were able to handle the responsibilities of fatherhood. Ackie might be into Batman and Ninjango these days but for him, you will always be his best superhero ever. Continue in nurturing and encouraging your son to grow up to be a gentleman with good values and a kind heart.

MY LOVE

Happy Father’s Day to my hubby who will soon be a dad! Yes, in few weeks! My love, you became a dad the day we learned that I am pregnant. I could see the glee and happiness in your eyes the night we got the double confirmation that we are truly are going to be parents. I am blessed that you were by my side in my journey as newbie pregnant lady. Thank you for those time you endured my volatile hormones, massaging my calves when I get cramps, for bringing me food after work and giving me a tight hug when this bloated pregnant lady needs one. If these are glimpse of you as a father: those times when you asked me when you arrived from work how Naj (our baby boy’s name ) is today, how you would stroke my bulging belly lovingly hoping to get a kick from Naj or how you would get so excited shopping for Naj. I couldn’t wait when our baby will come out. I believe you will be an amazing dad.

To all fathers, Happy Father’s Day! Hats off to you guys….

Here is something for you all to remember. This especially applies for your daughters. Just a thought to ponder on.
