A mother passing by her daughter’s bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, “Mom.” With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Mom: It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I’ve been finding real passion with Ahmed and he is so nice-even with all his piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But it’s not only the passion Mom, I’m pregnant and Ahmed said that we will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. He wants to have many more children with me and that’s now one of my dreams too. Ahmed taught me that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone and we’ll be growing it for us and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Ahmed can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don’t worry Mom, I’m 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’m sure we’ll be back to visit so you can get to know your grand children.

Your daughter, Judith

PS: Mom, none of the above is true. I’m over at the neighbor’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that’s in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

It’s so nice to think, that we give honor to  all the fathers in the universe through this what we called Fathers Day. It’s a great honor for them to be recognized as a father in at least once a year. Thanks to the person/people who invented a day as Father Day.

We were not born if we don’t have a father, we will not exist in this world without our parents. They are worth of our love. As a daughter, I always loved my father though I may not always or I may seldom tell him how much I love him but deep inside, I really do. I am not a kind of person who will express verbally my feelings towards other people especially to my immediate family. I am not that expressive of what I have felt inside especially to the person who has a very special place in my heart like my father. Honestly, I never remembered that I vocally tell my father how much I love him. Right now, upon writing this blog, I can’t control my tears to fell down. I miss my father so much, I do terribly miss him since the day I came here in UAE. You know what? Even in text messages, I seldom tell him that I love him not until today, I texted him, let him know that I love him and I miss him so much. Maybe, I am like as my father. He himself doesn’t know how to express his love verbally to us, to his children but I know deep down inside, He loves us more than anyone else in this world. Know what guys? My heart is so heavy I don’t understand my feelings. If only I can hug him, embraced right at this very moment, I wanted to tell him how much I love him.

He is such a good father, nothing compares. He is a family man. My family were so blessed having him. I don’t know when will I see him again. We are miles away; I hope he could feel the love in me as her daughter. I know, I am not perfect daughter and so he is not a prefect father but as for me he is more than perfect. I can never remember since I was a kid that he hit me or even my bro and sis. Never in the past he’d hurt us physically. He is the best father in this world. He is always there for us, every moment of our lives, in our ups and downs, he is there. He is always there to take good care for us. He is always there to protect me, never fail to tell what is right and what is wrong. Thinking all those times when were together makes me cry, I miss him so much, more than words can say.

I know he will not read this blog of mine. I just wanted to you guys to realize how important our father is. I just wanted to tell the world how proud I am to a father like him. What are money, fame and prestige if we don’t have our family? We are not rich, they cannot provide us all that we wanted in financial aspects but the love he gave to us is more than enough.

What are you waiting for? Don’t waste your time. Tell him now, how much you love him.

Papa, Tatay, Tatang, Daddy, Dada, whatever it is, Happy Fathers Day to all of you. We love you.

Relationships:

When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her heart out to her gidlfriends, and she will write a poem titled “All Men Are Idiots”. Then she will get on her life.

A man has a little more trouble letting go. The “I Hate You/I Love You” drunken phone call, that 99% of all men have made at least once.

Sex:

Women prefer 20 -45 minutes foreplay. Men prefer to 30-35 seconds of foreplay. Men consider driving back places as part of the foreplay.

Bathrooms:

A man has at least six items in his bathroom - a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in a typical woman’s bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to idetntify most of these items.

Going Out:

When a man says he is ready to go out, it means he is ready to go out. When a woman says she is ready to go out, it means she will be ready to go out, as soon as she finds her other earring, finishes putting her makeup….

The Telephone:

Men see the telephone as a communications tool. They use the telephone to send short messages to other people. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home,she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.

1. How can you look at situations in a more humorous, lighter, more loving way? How can you expand to include more humor or fun in your life?

2. How can you create surprises that will bring you closer to the people you love?

3. What do you have a passion for in your life? How can you rekindle that passion if it has dimmed or even died? What step are you willing to take to create more passion in your life?

4. What are you committed to having in your relationships and are you willing to “step up” and do the things that will bring you closer to having it?

It sometimes just takes a small action to move you toward what you want, like making a connection with your eyes with your beloved or with a family member or friend. It sometimes takes a very small action to stir up passion in your life.
