Since young, I would often feigned to fall asleep in the car or the couch and he would carry me in his strong arms back to my bed. I am so sure, by previous experiences he would have known that I just wanted to feel spoilt and be carried back to bed but he still did it anyway. That was Daddy.
"Cannot go for mission trips!"
"Why must you travel alone?"
"Have enough money or not?"
Sounds possessive? This is my Daddy. :)

"Ok, where are you? I am coming to pick you up."
"Come, I drive you to see a doctor."
"Bought you curry puff, go eat it..."
Sounds caring? This is my Daddy.

"Wah, how come spend so much money? Spend on the necessary ok? Money difficult to earn."
"Hmm, this t-shirt is $23, far too expensive, help me see have cheaper ones or not?"
"I walked out today and took 157, save on taxi fare."
Scrimp and Save? - for our sake. This is my Daddy.

"Hey has mum taken her medicine?"
"Buy this la, mummy likes..."
"Get a radio for mummy la, hers is not working, heard some 'zz zzz' sound some days back..."
Loving Husband? This is my Daddy.

For the past few days, without the television, I really got to spend alot more time with Dad. Once again I was so reminded of the things that he had sacrificially given to the family. I felt so blessed simply recounting them. I wanted so much to say, "dad i love you" and then give him a big huge hug but i hesitated.
It is so much easier hugging mummy gorgeous compared to daddy hunky. Hmm.. why so? Well, it was difficult at first too but it just got easier each time i tried and now its natural hugging mummy gorgeous and saying , "i love you" and then thick-skinly awaits the gentle, "i love you too" from her. :)
Anyway, its mothers' day. We had a simple dinner and dad, mum and i went shopping ding ding. Both were happy and when we got back home, i just whispered for mummy gorgeous to come into my room cos i realised i needed to learn to verbalise my love for her. I did. Gave her a huggy big hug and thanked her for all the things that she had done for me since i was a baby. I asked if i could say a prayer of blessings for her. Mum agreed!!! I teared. Wah how emotional right? Cos as i prayed and thanked God for bringing mummy into my life, i was just overwhelmed by the million and one thing that she had done for me and the family for the past years. I just wanted to appreciate her.
It is definitely not at all my family culture to hug and kiss and say the lurvy durvies. But i loved them so much that i wanna share with them the Jesus' culture and that is the culture of love. I guess i would just have to work on verbalising the 3 words to Daddy hunky now.
At least for now, "I love you, dad."
