A Letter to my Father

To my dearest father,

            This is the first time I wrote a letter for you. You’re the best among the best father I ever know. We’re not that close like mama because I don’t know how to approach you. Maybe I’m afraid… yes I’m afraid. You’re strict but I know it’s for our own good. When you’re angry you don’t talk. You just stare at us and it makes us shake. For that simple stare I know that you’re mad. I’m afraid to do wrong because I know you will scolded me. But sometimes you teach me on how to do it so that next time I know what to do. You teach us on how to stand on our own, how to defend ourselves when in trouble, you teach us to be good. For that papa… Thank you. I’m not always said to you that word but deep inside my heart I am grateful to have a father like you. I am blessed and lucky to have a good family and good father like you. No words can express how much I love you. I can’t remember if I tell you that I love you. Maybe I’m not told it at all to you because I’m shy. Now I’m telling you… I love you papa! I love you so much. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have given to us, for the hard work to sustain our needs and most especially for your love. I promise to finish my study because I think that’s the only way to payback all of your sacrifices. I promise to take care of you when you get old. I will not forget all your teachings.
