my dad has changed over the years from being such an ego man to a well..i would say..more sensitive man. he's not the type of guy who knows how to express his (love) feelings. he never said sorry if he done something wrong. he never cried.
when my mum passed away, that was the first time in my life i saw him crying. i saw him shed tears. i saw his sad face. i can tell deep down inside how sad he was.
from that moment, i always try to give him what he needs or what he wants, to help him with anything. i'm always the one who teman him to go shopping or dinner. sampai org ingat i'm his young wife and called me datin! :P
he too has been the best dad in the world. being a single father, he tried to juggle between being a father and a 'mother'. i think that's how he got his sensitive side. he becomes more concern about our feelings. he said sorry when when maybe sometimes he offended us. he tries to take care of us just like my late mum did. he helped me with household chores and vice versa. he even cleans the house sometimes even cleans the toilet!
yesterday, he remarried.
i must admit it was shocking and really ackward at first. i was skeptical of his choice. i buruk sangka. after a while, i came to my senses. i shouldn't judge a book by its cover. nobody's perfect.
having a sort of long distance relationship, i once saw and read her postcard with classic malay language to my dad. that was when i realize how sweet they are to fall in love with each other. for her to finally found her jodoh and for my dad to found love and happiness again.
all i'm saying is, i'm so happy to see him happy.
i'm glad that i helped him plan a small, simple yet grand (grand ke?) reception of our family and his close friends. walaupun i bersungguh buat video slide show for him the night before lepas tu tak jadik bcuz of the system (hmph!) i helped him with his music compilation. i even helped him choose the ring!
May this marriage brings happines and joy for my dad and his new wife. smoga sentiasa diberkati, dirahmati & diberi hidayah olehNya, Amin.
