Fathers.
Well, he was the person responsible, to make us up, to raise us, provide us shelter, food, and such. Everybody knows that. And some day, I’m going to be one of them. Although, me, ended up marrying? Ha-ha. That would be the day.
What I’m going to write about is MY relation with my father. You see, I had been spending these last few years in a small family, small house. But comfy, that’s for sure. All these while, it’s just us. Me, my 17-years-old brother and my 21-years-old brother and my mom. These, I never cared so much to tell people, but, well, he’s gone, in 2002, almost six years now.
During his life, well, I never even cared about him. Well, I was barely 13 at that time. And, I seriously thought that he would be there, would always be there. But no. he’s gone now. For good. His name was Mohd Hanafiah b. Othman. His hometown was in Perak. That’s why I walways thought that I was lucky. Mom from Kelantan, Dad from Perak, and here I was, in KL. Mix, huh?
My dad, he was a bit quiet. But, strict, whoa! That no one can argue with. He always kept it to himself. Hell, even I, as the child never thought that he had any problem. But he did. We always went off to holiday. To Pangkor, Port Dickson, and such.
What I regretted the most was that he was gone, so sudden. I thought he was going to survive. The day he left us, it was Ramadhan. Almost 8-9 days to ‘Idulfitri. Hell, we did our shopping together, days earlier. Our last shopping. But he was gone, in the blink of an eye. I couldn’t even send him to the hospital. He passed away on the way there. I thought it was going to be nothing. That he would get up, and everything will be okay. But no. Life seriously has taken a whole new path, since.
But, through the years, I had it all sorted out. This taught me, to be way independent. To do it all by yourself. Not to rely on others. Of course, it was so much easier since I had Fikri Ahmad Salleh, Badrul Muzammil, Shariman Akmal. And all my closest friends. So much that, today, I can think about him, and not shed a single tear. Pretty strong-will, huh?
Of course, this doesn’t mean that I’m starting to forget him. No. That’s not it. It’s just, over the years, it was us. I do miss him, badly. And I seriously want him to see how far I’ve achieved. How well I’ve done. And how matured I’ve become. And I want him to be proud for it. I seriously think he would.
And, oh yea~!
A big applause given for Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, a loving daughter from Spokane, as she was the one who honored her father so much that this new day was declared, somewhere back in years ago.
And, just to celebrate this day, here’s some info I digged at the Net. It’s about the tribute to father (duh?!) and how a children should treat them.
* Tribute to Father
Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child.

* Tribute to Father
Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child.
* Say Thanks to Dad on Father's Day
* Apologize to Dad on Father's Day
* Celebrate Father's Day with Dad
To relive this moment, I compiled some of the Father’s Day poem, specially dedicated to my Dad, and all those great Dads in the world.
F.A.T.H.E.R.S.
"F" aithful.
"A" lways there.
"T" rustworthy.
"H" onoring.
"E" ver-loving.
"R" ighteous.
"S" upportive.
You Never
You Never
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
* this one, for my dearest father*
* this one, for my dearest father*
What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ...
Dad
My Dad and I
My dad and I-we think alike,
He knows just what I mean
Before I even say a word
He reads, well, in between.
My dad and I-we like to fish
Or build a model plane,
Or fix a broken chair or two
Or just a windowpane.
My dad and I-we know the score
Of every single game;
Sometimes he's really busy, too
But he takes me just the same.
My dad and I-we go swimming too,
Each year and sometimes twice.
My dad and I-we do everything;
My dad-he's really nice.

A Father Is:
There in every memory
See his love and care
Strength and hands to count on
Freely he does shareProvider, toil so faithfully
To make our dreams come true
Give strong and tender discipline
Though it is hard to do
A Father is God's chosen one
To lead the family
And point it to His will for life
Of love and harmony...

Daddy you are the Best
Daddy you are the best,
although you live in the west.
stay the way you are,
while your driving your sports car.
You couldn't be a better dad oh yeah,
don't go driving around mad
I love you for ever 'cause you'r really clever
Even though i puss and shove
I will still show all my love

And not forgetting, this song’s goes particularly and exceptionally for those who had gone to meet the Almighty God. We will never say bye~!
THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE WHO JUST LOST SOMEBODY
YOUR BEST FRIEND, YOUR BABY, YOUR MAN OR YOUR LADY
PUT YOUR HAND WAY UP HI
WE WILL NEVER SAY BYE
MAMAS, DADDYS, SISTERS, BROTHERS, FRIENDS AND COUSINS
THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR GRANDMOTHERS
LIFT YOUR HEAD TO THE SKY
CAUSE WE WILL NEVER SAY BYE
AS A CHILD THERE WERE THEM TIMES
I DIDN’T GET IT BUT YOU KEPT ME IN LINE
I DIDN’T KNOW WHY YOU DIDN’T SHOW UP SOMETIMES
ON SUNDAY MORNINGS AND I MISSED YOU
BUT I’M GLAD WE TALKED THROUGH
ALL THEM GROWN FOLK THINGS
SEPARATION BRINGS
YOU NEVER LET ME KNOW IT
YOU NEVER LET IT SHOW
BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME AND OBVIOUSLY
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE LEFT TO SAY
IF YOU WERE WITH ME TODAY FACE TO FACE
NEVER KNEW I COULD HURT LIKE THIS
AND EVERYDAY LIFE ROLLS ON I
WISH I COULD TALK TO YOU FOR A WHILE
MISS YOU BUT I TRY NOT TO CRY
AS TIME GOES BY
AND IT’S TRUE THAT YOU’VE REACHED A BETTER PLACE
STILL I’D GIVE THE WORLD TO SEE YOUR FACE
AND BE RIGHT HERE NEXT TO YOU
BUT IT’S LIKE YOU’RE GONE TOO SOON
NOW THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS SAY BYE BYE
BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE
BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE
BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE
BYE BYE
AND YOU NEVER GOT A CHANCE
TO SEE HOW GOOD I’VE DONE
AND YOU NEVER GOT TO SEE ME
BACK AT NUMBER ONE
I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE
TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER
I WISH THAT WE COULD SPEND
THE HOLIDAYS TOGETHER
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO
TUCK ME IN AT NIGHT
WITH THE TEDDY BEAR YOU GAVE ME
THAT I HELD SO TIGHT
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SO STRONG
YOU’D MAKE IT THROUGH WHATEVER
IT’S SO HARD TO ACCEPT THE FACT
YOU’RE GONE FOREVER
I NEVER KNEW I COULD HURT LIKE THIS
AND EVERYDAY LIFE ROLLS ON I
WISH I COULD TALK TO YOU FOR A WHILE
MISS YOU BUT I TRY NOT TO CRY
AS TIME GOES BY…
Abah, I really, REALLY does miss you!!
