Of Fathers and Sons and Daughters
"Perhaps we all want to follow our fathers..."
This was the last line in the HBO movie I'm watching (listening to).
Dad's death anniversary was last Saturday, November 18. The pieces of the puzzle are slowly getting together, but not enough for a conclusion.
I agree with the last line. Fathers determine the strength and integrity of children. A son wants to be like his dad, daughters look for their fathers in the men they date.
Well, at least I do.
Some of my male friends are scared of having daughters. Afraid probably, that their daughters will date men like them. I just tell them to treat their wives right, and be the man their daughters will look for in the men they will date. It always starts, and ends, at home.
My dad told me stories. He threatened the thunders with his shotgun and assured me he and his shotgun are going to keep watch so I can sleep. He took me to walks when he sensed I was bored. He held my hand. He made me step on his feet to teach me how to dance. He wrote down his plan for me, and I was able to read it.
My dad treated me so well.
A man will have to beat that.

And the only man who probably could is out there, somewhere.
Have a great weekend, JJ. :-)
it's so hard to find a great guy when you're blessed with a great dad..
but he's out there somewhere nga... where there's no phone line or internet connection (even on his birthday)
peace miranda!
snugly, asan ba iyong mokong na iyon? hindi kasi nagtatanong ng direksion. ayan, wala pa rin siya. what's with men and asking for directions, anyway? hehe.
angel, ayaw nga niyang pakasal eh. baka hindi siya. hanap tayo ng iba.
'yun lang. goodluck na lang sa paghahanap.
pennylane, thank you!
baka magkaanak ka muna bago mo mahanap yung lalaking yun haha. meron nun, i'm sure. malayo nga lang yung "out there, somehwere" na sinasabi ni snuggly. wala pa sa mapa.
koryn, halika ritong bata ka. makapingot man lang.
