Just a quick one.
Today is my daddy's 19 year death anniversary.
Profound. Poignant. Life changing.
These words are beyond just alphabets. They defined me to be the person I am today, 19 years later.
I have not been able to call "Daddy" or "D" or "Dad" because my father has not been around through these years but I totally understand.
This is part of life. This has been the way it is supposed to be and this has been the way.
At this moment, I can't believe my eyes to acknowledge how much of time has flown, putting shame to everything old age because despite this remarkable number 19, I still feel he has just been away.
Not this Godly 19 years.
While I don't want to overly rant about how great my dad has been (because I do that all the time when I think of him and I don't believe I should be doing so just on his death anniversary), I just want to say that despite the tough years, there is one thing I am more than thankful and appreciative than anything else.
That, my mum has been able to go through such difficult times without my dad. And she has been able to thrug us along with her 2 bare hands.
If there is a woman and person in this world that deserve all the recognition and pat on the back and most honorable award, it should and must go to my mum.
She is the most "anchor" and "iron" woman I have ever known. And I must say, she deserve the best since we are all grown up and she has been able to move on with living life ever since dad passed on.
One heck of a woman there.
And yes, I'm am proud she is my mother. I am her daughter. She is my dad's wife. My brother's mum.
So dad, where ever you maybe, thanks for the blessings. We have been definitely blessed. I can't be asking for more. And you too, you have one heck of a woman there in your life. She deserves all of your love and needless to say, ours too.
We miss you and you will always be in our loving memory.
