Happy Father's Day

Yesterday was father's day... Woot!
Was listening to some Chinese radio station yesterday, and this guest speaker by the name of Gao Ling Feng mentioned that fathers are often forgotten despite showing equal love to their children. He mentioned that the sad thing about fathers nowadays is that they in their 20s and 30s they often work so as to support their families and sacrifice their time with their children. Then when they reach their 40s, they often fell guilty and decide to wind down on their career and spent more time with their teens. But by then, there will often be a gap between the father and the teen so the father will find it hard to communicate with the child despite his best efforts. And unlike mothers who show more emotions and physical caring to their child, fathers, being male often hide their emotions and do not express their love physically, although their love for the child is equal to that of the mother. So this is kinda sad... But anyway, my father is almost like what that singer described. I can tell that he realli works very hard to provide for the family, sometimes coming back hm at late hours. Although, he used to be very strict when i was young and use to yell at me and my bro, as i grew older, he began to tone down and started talking rather than just yelling. However, there is still this barrier between me and him, i tend not to approach him on matters i deem too unimportant and sensitive to talk about and prefer to keep them to myself. But despite this, i know that he loves me alot, and he tends to put it across through his actions rather than words. Like when i had to go though the trauma of circumsition, like when he nagged or chided me for being so forgetful, it is through the collection of this various actions, that you see the true love of a father, a love that cannot be expressed in words alone. So, dad, though i will never say this to you( cause i find it too uncomfortable to day it out loud), i just want to thank you for all the times that you have been there for me and yes, i love you.
