A strong man with a wise mind and a pure heart - this is how I describe my dad.  For fourteen years of my life, my father is always there for me. He never left our side, nor he neglected his responsibilities. He undoubtedly plays his role as my father, and at the same time, a friend. I cannot avoid the fact that I am sometimes scolded by my father because that's just how it works. He is responsible in disciplining his children. He is sometimes scary when he's angry. But putting that aside, he is a very humorous person. He never fails to make us laugh to our heart's content. And he never stops doing it. But the best thing I admire about him is his decisive attitude and his wisdom. He knows how to weigh out situations so he can decide for the best. And he always succeeds to give us his words of wisdom. 


There are many things that my father does to our family. As what typical fathers do, he works for a living. He tries his best to make our life comfortable and I know that his hard work is not going to waste. He does not only give me the basic things I need, but also the luxuries I want. However, there are still certain conditions before I gain them. We are not that rich to just spill money easily so to obtain what I want, I have to work for it. And I believe that doing my best serves as a token of gratitude for what my father has done to me.

Last Sunday we celebrated Father's Day to give tribute to our wonderful fathers or dads or whatever you call them. But though it might have come to an end, the celebration to thank my dad will never cease. He deserves more than one day to recognize his worth. He deserves a lifetime of receiving gratitude. From the time I was born, I have loved him.  And as long as I live, I will love him more.
