No words at all

No words at all, that’s how I would describe how I felt my Dad’s love today. Normally, children have their innate connection with their Moms, but in my case, I feel that with my Dad. It’s not that I don’t appreciate my mom or I don’t like and love her more than my Dad. I like and love them equally. It’s just that today; I felt my connection with him. But every day, I feel the love and care of my Mom, she’s simply amazing. Maybe because I’m just more like my Dad that’s why I feel this certain connection with him; we have the same taste; attitude; personality; likes; views and opinions. But he’s better of course, way to better and smarter than me. He’s my mentor and supporter and I’m his number one fan. :)

No one was able to make me feel better today than him, even if he said nothing. I wanted to share this because this incident really touched my heart. All throughout the day I was so busy cleaning the house, as in the entire house and I’m focused on cleaning and finding things to clean when I couldn’t find anything to clean anymore. Then he suddenly sits within the area I’m cleaning at. Me – busy, deeply thinking and teary eyed didn’t acknowledged he’s presence even if it’s obvious that he’s there. I said nothing and he did the same. I can feel him looking at me, wanting to ask what was happening, why was I sad and about to cry? But I think he feels that I don’t want to be asked that’s why he kept quiet. I feel that he knows I’m hurting and he wished he could just take away the pain, just like what he used to do when I was a little girl, well even know, he would always want to take away all my pains. And I’m so thankful for that. When I have migraine, he would massage my head. He would look for his mint oil and put it on my head for a more soothing effect (I think he learned that from his barber). When my skin was burnt due to an accident, he used to help my mom in cleaning my wounds and he would hold my hands and just let me cry out loud. He even took a leave in the office and in school so he could take care of me.

Then he finally breaks the silence, he asked something I can barely remember, I think he told me to throw away the VCDs we no longer use. I nod without even looking at him, I’m afraid he might see my eyes. Then he kept quiet again, he stand up and left. And that made me feel alright, because when he left, it seems that he’s telling me that I’m brave and strong, that I can get through whatever it is that hurts me, and that I’m his daughter and he’s proud of me. I felt his dearest love, though I feel it every day, this day is special because he made me feel that he’s always there, that he knows me so well, and that he understands.

Me and my Hero for the day:
