WHAT ARE YOUR STORIES? Today is a Fathers Day.. Just like what Bokie had said in his blogs father is often the most misunderstood person in the family.Personal experience and observation will tell that he is definitely right. Too many stories could be told and heard about father's negligences, irresponsibilities and abandonments anywhere. I am not very certain for sure but as I observed --- it seems that within the heart of a father there is always a longing and a silent message yearning to be heard. A silent message that --- they too do care and they do also love their most----. I know that this is true but to strengthen my observation, I noticed it from the animations that I love to watch. Often, cartoon characters such as in nemo, wilds, lion king, kung-fu panda, sharks tale, incredibles, ratatouile and a lot more---the projection of love between father and is often the subject. My assumption is that: Majority of the creators of these films are also struggling fathers who would like to convey their silent yearnings of love and they want to show it to the on their younger years. Aside from these animations, there are several serious films that also portrayed how the father struggled to show his love for his . Mrs. Doubtfire, American Beauty, Q, Pursuit to Happyness, Riding Alone for Thousand of Miles,Big Daddy (although its a comedy) and a lot more to mention. I noticed that among these films the rule of the father is heavier compared to the portrayal of mothers character in mother centered films. What makes the role heavier is that, fathers have gotten their personal struggles (of not too expressive) combined with their desires to show how much they love their families.They have to struggle to overcome the misjudgment of not caring much to "I too care for they too are my ". I empathize (even to my own father) with the fathers every time I see them in one corner watching their with an unconscious smile of happiness lined on their lips( am very observant). Often, I wish that they too could have enough strength to stand and express that love and happiness openly (although there are some who can do it). Just a thought....the manner and the intensity of expression spell the difference between man and woman   Since, today is a fathers day, I just want to say that even I am not blessed with an ideal Father( have just known it lately), I had known long ago that Dad in his own ways loves me too. I still treasured in my heart some moments which manifested his love for me. His simple gesture of buying me my most favorite pen when I was still in elementary, his acts of carrying me over his shoulders because I was too lazy to walk, his buying of ribbons for my hair for he don't want to cut it short,his patience to teach me how to ride a bicycle and later a motorcycle, his trying hard to be home every end of the school year to attend my recognition and graduation days and a tear he shed when I got my first bulls eyed blow from failure are some of the most vivid memories I am keeping which hold me to believe that he will always be a father to me. He might not told me verbally that he loves me but I can feel it in my heart that he do. Just like any other fathers, my dad, is also one of the most misunderstood person at home but he too deserves all the best of this occasion. These are few best stories I kept about my dad and I hope I can share these best stories with my own in the future. What about you? What story/ies you can recall about your fathers?

Jen, my dad passed away in 1994..I have very good memories of him when I was a little child..Being the baby in the family, he showed his love for me more than my other siblings. To this date, I still feel sorry that I was not able to give pay him back the comforts in life he has given me...I wish I could have done more... Dad, wherever you are, I love you!
