23~ Happy Birthday Papa!

My father’s birthday

Without him, I wouldn’t be here and I wouldn’t be who I am now. It’s a cliche, but it’s true that almost half of myself, I owe to him.

A sad fact though is that he wasn’t present in some of the notable “firsts” in my life. Well, only in presence, but I’m really certain that we were always on his mind, and he works hard to provide a better future for us.

Inadequacy issues. I feel so incapable of being someone my parents could be proud of. I think it would hard for me to find a job, not because I’m not competitive, but there are a lot of unexplainable issues behind that.

All I know is that I want to repay them in the best way I can. For all the hardships we went through as a family, being their eldest child, it’s not just my responsibility, but it is rather my desire to make them happy for they deserve to be.

Happy Birthday Papa, if in case you read this, I’m very proud of you. I’m such a lucky person to be your daughter!
