while watching a movie with daddy tonite, there’s a part in the movie about marriage and money.

Daddy’s girl: bố ơi, bố có bao giờ bán con hông? (daddyyyy, would you ever sell me for money?)

Daddy: không. không bao giờ. (No. Never. )

Daddy’s girl: Thiệt hả? (really?)

Daddy:  Ừ. Ai cũng chết. Tiền bạc không có ý nghĩa. Hạnh phúc là trên hết. Biết giữ hạnh phúc hay không là chuyện khác. (Yes. Everyone dies. Money means nothing. Happiness is above everything. Knowing how to keep that happiness is another thing. )

Yup! that’s my daddy. the only man in this world that i look up to. i love him so much that i want to cry just the thought of not being close to him. Yes, i’m my daddy’s little girl. he loves me a lot. a whole lot. he would never trade us (my brother and i)  for anything in this world, including his life. he spoils us, especially me. he is such a wonderful daddy for he has being taking care of us to the fullest needs that a human being wants: emotionally, financially, mentally and physically. he is such a wonderful daddy for he is my daddy. and my daddy is the best daddy in the whole wide world.

i really want to write about him like i did before. you know how he’s treating me, how much he loves me. but no. i guess i’m a bit older. i no longer see things that way. all iknow now is how much i love him.

being the best daddy in the whole wide world is not an easy task. you have to love unconditionally and to forgive. my daddy is aging now. people often ask us why don’t we let him go to work since he is only 57. our (my brother and i) reply is “no, it’s time for us to take care of him” He has never complaint about us. He has never yelled at us nor hit us. if we do wrong, he would tell us (not lecturing but heartly telling us) His love for me is everything that i want in this world. it hurts just to think that one day he might not be with me. it makes me want to cry. i don’t know why. i really want to write about my feelings, about him and how great he is as a daddy to me. but the words fail me. they fail me big time. for i don’t know how or where to begin. i just want to say “hi dadddyyyy” when i got home from work or from school everyday. i just want to hug him 3 times a day or more if he let me. i want to hear his voice jokingly cuss at me “bố mày” (your father) everytime i hug him. i want to race home from work everyday for lunch and for dinner because he would cook soup for me. he cooks everyday because he wants the dish we eat to be hot and fresh. he would go and buy food at the market just because we say we like it. he would wash the cars for us without us asking. he would change the oil…and even do laundry. we talk about everything. i ask him questions about life, school, work and even relationship. he would tell me like it is. he would give me the best advices. that’s my daddy. he takes a great care of us. i really want to write about him but i don’t know how or where to start to write down the feeling. i love him so much that i don’t think i would move or live far away from him at all. it just hurts and pains me if i have to be away from him. even just in thoughts.

so for this entry, my words fail me. it’s something that i feel greatly inside and yet can’t describe in words. i guess there’s certain feelings that one feels more than it could be described. i guess there’s certain kind of love that not enough words in the world could write about. could praise about. not enough. it’s the kind of love that my daddy gives me. the kind that i for daddy. he’s the most wonderful daddy ever!!!

i am greatly blessed for a daddy like mine. just greatly blessed. i love you much, daddy. gotta go and hug him now <3
