For You, My Loving Father

Dearest Daddy,

• Ever since I was a born... You've been taking care of me... Whenever I had a nightmare... You were there to comfort me... Whenever I needed help with my homework... You were there to help... Whenever I had questions about life... You were there to answer them... Whenever I was injured... You were there to bandage up the wound... Whenever I wanted or needed something... You were there to supply it for me...

• But how often did I say thank you for those times? I admit that I take you for granted sometimes... I didn't really appreciate you for every little thing that you did for me... And whenever you scolded me or caned me... I would get angry and hate you...
  

• But every scolding and caning that you gave me... I know that it'd hurt you more than it did me... But you did it out of love for me... And I thank you for that... It has helped me to become who I am today...

• I'm sorry for all those times that I've disobeyed you... I'm sorry for taking you for granted... And I'm sorry for all those times that I've hurt you...

• You are the best father anyone could ever wish for... And so I say thank you... Thank you for providing us with clothes to wear... Thank you for providing food on the table... Thank you for a home to stay in... And last but not least, thank you for being my loving father... I love you...

• Love,

• Your son, Julian Chong
