Was never the one to show weakness. He would be the one least emotional when times get rough , he would be the one to tell us everything was okay (when it was not) , he would be the one to tell us that he'll fix it (even though he couldn't)
And I think that's why, the family always looked up to dad, being the leader of the family and all. He was our pillar of strength in the family. I always thought dad could handle any problem, he was never afraid of anything, no matter how big the problem was.
There were only on 2 occasions I saw dad shed a tear - one, when I was sick during PMR and almost couldn't sit for the exam - second, when I was leaving for NZ .
Mom said on father's day, dad gave a speech in church. I asked dad about what he said but he refused to tell me , which made me even more curious !! Later, mom told me that dad mentioned how proud he was to have 3 daughters , how hard it was for him to let us grow up ( i think this involves having bfs lol ), and how it was painful to see us leaving to NZ. All these years, I've always thought dad as being the non-mushy type. But I guess, dad didn't want us to see that side of him.
My dad.
He's awesome like that.
