1st it will be my birthday... well June 15, a date full of history where a history maker is born. then, it will be fathers day, where it will reminds me about my late father. miss Him so much. A week after that, it will be my Father death anniversary which is 23rd June.
15th, 3rd Sunday and the 4th week of June. Everything happened in June...
I still remember 13th years ago few weeks before my birthday, My Daddy call home from Papua New Guinea and talk to all of us. He said that he will be back in few month after almost a year working there and ask me what i want for my birthday. i ask for LEGO and he promise tha he will buy it in Singapore when he is on his way back to Malaysia. i was so happy cause i will have a new LEGO set and also cause my dearest daddy is coming back for good after working far away from us for almost a year...
and 15th June 1997 falls on a Sunday and it was Father's Day...
on the 3rd week of June 1997, I still remember (if i'm not mistaken) My brother Matt, Sister Krys and myself is at the living room with our color papers, glue and scissor doing our Father's Day card. After finishing our cards and mummy posted it after a few days i guess....
a week after that on 23rd June Monday and i remember i just come back from school. Mummy and Krys is at home and we were resting at the living room. if i'm not mistaken Mummy was sewing that afternoon and she is kinda tired and resting on the sofa and i was playing with Krys (i think so la).... Our house phone rang and i answer the phone, the person wanted to talk to mummy and i just passes it to Mum and i knew it was a call from daddy's office but i just don't know what is the reasons they call home.
Sitting down at the sofa looking at mummy talking on the phone and listening to their conversation, i can tell that something bad has happened and i see mum's tears flowing. when she hang the phone, mummy tell us that daddy is gone forever....
the last time i saw daddy is when we send him at the airport in 1996 and after that, never see him again but i believe that 1 day, i will see him again....
growing up without a father figure is hard and the society here is still harsh to a single parents family and it teaches me a-lot growing up in this family... i'm grateful for all that has happened and it just make a stronger person...
for all of you out there that still have your father around you, do appreciate them, not only father, your parents out there. show them you love them, throw away your ego and shower them with your love.
No matter what condition your parents is in, maybe they are divorce happily, maybe they are still together or whatever it is, love them and appreciate them. cause you sure will miss them when they are not around....
ending this post with wishing all of you "Happy Father's Day" to all Fathers out there, all future Fathers...
