“I Am the Daughter of XX”
I Am XX’s daughter. I am the only child that he had. He nearly talked about me with his friends, but I know he always felt glad for having me in his life journey. When I was little, he was always busy with his work, so I couldn’t see him often. I always missed him so much. I remembered writing greeting cards to him every week. He always gives me a hug when he comes back, and I felt loved. I always followed some kind of rules that he set for me when I was younger, but I changed my idea in my age of 15. I decided to study aboard in the United States. He did not agree. He didn’t want to me go that far and he indeed thought that America was not safe at that time. I argued a lot with him about making this decision. Finally, he agreed. I still remembered that he cried during the last fight that we had. He didn’t want me to go away from home, and I thought this might be one of his hardest decision that he had to make in his life.
I always felt protected when I was with him. I remembered he took me to many places around the world, and he told me that he wanted to show me the most beautiful places in different countries. I remembered he used to get mad very easily, but he has changed a lot after believing in God. I remembered he worked really hard for our family, and I saw he got more and more grey hairs. People said that sometimes parents are your best friends, but he was not my best friend. He is my Dad, my hero. He is different than other people’s Dad because of who he is.
