To Papa with Love on Father's Day

You may not be perfect and  an ideal father, and You may have thought I  that I didn't see, nor I hadn't heard, all the Life lessons  you had taught to me. However, I got every word of it.
Perhaps, you thought that I missed it all, during the times that we'd grown apart. Keeping my distance and silence was not a revenge, nor a prodigal daughter's  vengeance. It was my way of respecting your choice. It's because I know that as a Father,
you always wanted what's BEST for your children.
We may have different and clashing opinions on most issues,
but the lessons  behind your actions, and your wisdom was vividly written on my heart.
Nevertheless, without you, Papa I wouldn't be the woman whom I am today. You built a strong foundation in me that no one can take away. I've grown up with your values, and I'm very glad I did. So here's to you, our dear father, from all of us. Happy Father's  Day with Love Papa wherever you may be...
We missed you!
