Someone I respect

This is my father. The person I respect the most in the world, whom I honestly don't know how I would live without. 

Even though he can be so childish I wanna smack him (which I do, in my mind :P ), the sacrifices he has made for the family is undeniable. Especially being so tolerant of the rebellious me when I was younger.

He is the one person I look to as a real model, someone I am proud to call my Father. The person I want to grow up into. When I am troubled or upset, he is someone that I can always rely on for good advice and encouragement. Always supportive with words of encouragement. 

The one thing I admire the most about my Papa is that he is so mature that he is able to forgo his own rights for the happiness of the other party. That is not something that just anyone can do. Something I have been trying to model, but keep failing. Maybe one day, I will be able to be like him because he brought me up :D 

Just recalling all the good times we've had together brings a grin to my face. I remember last weekend on mothers day, when I suggested dinner, he got scolding from my mum because he wanted to eat steak just because I was treating :P and the extent of his vanity that he had to go to the toilet and comb his hair before we could take a family photo. Such a cute family dinner that was :) 

With all these memories etched to my heart, I want my Papa to know that I really really admire his loving nature and persevering spirit. 

I am proud to call you father and I hope you are too <3
