Daddy’s Hug
My Dad is simple, happy person, a hardworking dad, superb friendly, a quiet person at some point, family-oriented and he is quite mischievous just to make all his loved ones to be enthusiastic. He is my ideal qualities of a father for he had finished his studies until college and had gotten a work before settling down with my mom. He always wanted to travel with his family every summer vacation which is I really loved to do with him. He always had went with us, family to eat at several fast food chains inside the mall and eat on some not-so-luxury restaurants. And that was before.
When I was born, My Dad and Mom was really happy to see me since I was the first child. He was so jolly to carry me based on my photo album and that was my very first ever photo with him and that was his very first hug. That was birthday! Most of our relatives distinguished that I really look like him, it’s just that I was purely white skin when I was a baby before I got tanned because of playing outside when I became a grade-schooler. I am humbly speaking that I am so cute and handsome like my dad until now. Hahahaha.
On the next hug and this is my most memorable hug with him, I was a grade-schooler around 2002 until 2005, I couldn’t remember the exact date, I just cherished the mall branch was recently opened so we all went and it is in our culture to try or go on every event. So one day, I was shopping around with my family, dad, mom, my 2nd brother and our youngest sister, my cousins and auntie at the very popular mall in the Philippines, you know what it is, I’m sure. Lol. We were at the department store on the shoe section and my mom was looking the best shoes for me and that time, I was stubborn atm. and I don’t want to try the shoe she had picked for me and my mom still insisted to wear that shoe she chose to me. I still refused and I cried. I was sitting already beside the shoe rack for I felt so embarrassed already for I am a shy type of person. Haha. Since I did not want to wear a new shoe, we have decided to go and looked around again. However, I was still sitting and hiding on the shoe rack for I was hesitated to go up and they kept on calling me to leave the shoe section and I still did not. The only thing they should convince me to stand up was if they would provide me a wheelchair for I didn’t want to walk because of embarrassment. Hahaha. Then that was the time my dad hugged me so tightly and I smiled endlessly because I felt tickled but I was shy to show I have felt it . Haha. So, I just go up and walked drastically just because I was tickled yet I loved the feeling of that Daddy’s hug and I would never ever forget it. He would never ever do it again for he go to the world of spirits already.
The most regretful part is the bond we have, have ended up, I have just shown a bit of love although I am not so showy person but I appreciated all the efforts he had with us, family and I will never ever hears his voice, his laugh and all that. This is why I created this blog of mine and want it to post this on my website so I could have something to look back with my Daddy although there is a LOT of happy memories with him, this is just the most unforgettable one.
