Today is Father's Day . Thank you dad .

Today is Father's Day .Unfortunately no one remember to wish me .Perhaps celeberating Father's Day is still strange to most of us .However , I was still happy because I got a treat to a sumptious sea food , at a sea front restaurant in Port Klang-the Muara Restaurant by my son Syazirul Azman .My wife and our two daughters went together with Azman's girl friend ,Shidah .
Although, I do not really like to glorify the values of the Europeans , personally I feel there is nothing wrong in accepting some of their postive values .Celeberating Mother's Day and Father's Day make us remember to appreciate the good deeds of our parents and a way to thank them .We will never be able to repay them , but at least by showing them a token of our appreciation would make them very happy .
One thing about me , I never forget to wish my wife , my children and even my daughter-in-law on their birthdays .I would very much like to wish my father on Father's Day like today . Unfortunately, I would never be able to do so because he had passed away five years ago .I will never be able to reverse the clock again .My only wish today, is that he would rest in peace and be blessed by almighty God .
My old man was a very simple man .Coming from a traditional background naturally made him into a very strict father .Although he brought us by the traditional ways ,I am glad he had performed his responsibilities well and mould us into responsible men and women .All my brothers and sisters are successful in our own ways .At least we have decent homes , happy and successful families. I know that my father was very proud of me as I had set a good example to my brothers and sisters .I had a good career and my children are successful in their studies .My late father always encourage us to excell in our studies because according to him he did not have much property to be inherited to us.Only good education that he would try to provide us .According to him good education would be more meaningful than the property . My only regret is that he did not have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of our success as he was then too old and sickly .
Any way dad , thank you for everything that you have provided and cherished us .Although you are not around to witness our joy and happiness , your soul is always with us .
God bless you dad . Amin .
