For the first time in my life, my dad got upset because i didnt contact him in a week and that i didnt tell him how was my orientation and how i was doing.... ONE WEEK. Usually we dont even talk for weeks unless he is in town. For the first time in my life, i felt he really wanted to know his daughter. For the first time in my life, i feel like my dad walked right back into my life.I made a prayer when i was a kid.. that my dad would come back. And even though God answered the prayer like 15 years later... God still answered it.I called him after i got his email, and we chatted, and i felt like i had a father and a friend.. He was LAUGHING on the phone and all and i was rambling on and on about things that happened... it felt nice. My dad never laughs when we talk in the past.. but he did today. In the past we just sat and talked about school and financial stuffs and thats about it. Today we talked about deeper stuff, and though it was short, i love it to the core. and then he said "remember to write to me once in a while..".My aunt was telling me about how my dad would light up everytime he saw us when we were kids.. his face would glow and he would show us off. I realised just recently that there were photos of my sister and i on his work desk and proudly telling people about us.In the past my dad's heart would melt everytime i mention something about our family and he would do something sweet for me in his own way, just to heal the wound...
I never knew or notice these things.. i always thought my dad was just fulfilling responsibility when he met up with us..
Well he wasnt.. i guess he really loved us in his own secret mysterious daddy manly way.
I never thought such a day would come, where my dad would wanna know whats going on in my life, for a week even.. and one fine day the miracle just casually strolled in.
So, never give up on a prayer because God has really good memory and he never forgets.. no matter how long it takes...no matter how painfully long the wait is. The longer the wait.. the better the miracle...
This would be the best thing that ever happened in my ENTIRE life.
This is the begining of a something wonderful. I cant wait to call him again..
i love my dad so so so much.
