My father has never gotten into the details of whatever I have done. Not that he doesn't care but he has always been my last resort. When there is so much noise, there's only one voice I trust. He's always there but never says much. Lying next to him even when he doesn't say anything gives me the strength.
My father has never scolded me but has only given me motivational talks. In fact, he has never ever instructed me to do something. His love for me is perhaps like that.
My father has shown me that even when he's half awake, in pain, he would ask me if I have had food or not. He has shown me what truly care for people means.
My father has never told me to change myself. He has always been the unrestrained, talkative, happy, jolly person himself, someone who has never believed in facades and appearances. He has always wanted me to be me.
My father has always been very particular about how I would drive my car, that I should be careful about what I do and not bother about how the other person drives. Perhaps this is the only time when he still instructs me. His message on a broader scale based on his experiences in life is to take care of oneself and not be really bothered about what the world does.
My father has never given me pots of money. He has given me all the support, encouragement and freedom to become a self-dependent man myself. He has always given more than he has taken and has given me values similar to live by.
My father has shown me the face of true love. Through his love for my mother, grandmother and for me, he has shown me that love is what really matters in life and that it is the true source of all happiness.
My father is far from the perfect Raymond's Dad but then he has given me so much that even if I am an iota of what he has been then I would make a great dad. I thank God for giving me a father like my father.
For my father, a thousand times over...

I have never met yr father in person, but I have known him through your talks. And, if I could relate with his care for you despite of not meeting him even once, I believe he will always be there as your support even when he is far. Be strong and keep making yr parents proud as u always do.
