Who works for our family in times of need ? Who takes care of us whenever mother is not around ? Who defends the family against problems ? No one else but our father, or what we call daddy, ‘erpats’, ‘ama’, ‘pudra’, ‘papa’ or ‘itay’.  My father is the most influential person in my life and probably not even aware of the things he has taught me or of how much he has affected my existence. This person has always been in my life, from the day I first opened my eyes up to now. That’s why words aren’t enough to thank him for all what he has done for me.

    

   My father ? I can say that he is an extraordinary person. Simply because he works for our family not only outside the house but also inside. He cooks, cleans and do the laundry. A special appreciation I can do is to help him. My father is usually a type of humorous person. His favourite food is pancit. That’s why in every celebration we have at home, he cooks pancit. His super hero idol is Thor in Avengers because he finds Thor funny and entertaining. He loves watching boxing and even dreamt of being a boxer when he was a teen.

    My father had been a good father for us and a good husband for my mother. Whenever I need help for my projects, who do I depend on ? It’s my father. There are times my mother won’t allow me for something, like hanging out, but it is my father who makes a way. When I need some advices ? My father is there for me. I know all the things I can do for him is only little compared to what he did for me these past fourteen years. So I just do my best to impress him and make him proud in a way I can.

    My father may not be as rich as Bill Gates, as intelligent as Albert Einstein or as handsome as Daniel Padilla but he left a great foot print in my heart. A foot print that stays forever and never left my heart. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me. A man who cares, love and cherish me for who I am, a father who I look up to. I will always love my father forever and always.
