Selamat Hari Lahir, Abah..

28 December 2009...
my father turned 63 years old..
Selamat Hari Lahir, Abah
Thank you for everything you've made me become
Thank you for being such a strict father, I know I wouldn't have come this far if not because of you
Thank you for always believing in me even in a very ridiculous situation
Thank you for being patience, I know I'm not a good daughter but I will strive to be one
Thank you for defending me when I thought no one would stand by me
Thank you for everything you sacrificed to raise me up until today
Thank you for being such a darling father and let me marry the person I love
You made my life complete, and I just want you to know that I am nobody without you..
Even though you don't say much, how much you love all of us
I always know deep inside my heart how endearing you are to us
It is not because of the title 'father', but because your responsibilities that grew in me
Now that I am a 'mother' myself, I knew it was such a hard thing to do
I'm sorry I couldn't understand you before
And I am so sorry that I couldn't make up the time to say this to you verbally..
I wish time is something that can be meddled
Because I wish I had more time to say thank you..
But most of all,
on this very precious day..
Thank you for being born, and may Allah bless you with all happiness in the world and thereafter, fill your heart and soul with love and thank you once again, for being my father..
With everlasting love,
Your eldest daughter..
P/S: Happy birthday to my father-in-law too, which coincidentally shares the same birthday with my father..
