My dad, someone whom I respect and love, but I seldom talk about him. I have always peppered my conversations with mention of my mum but never my dad. I guess I have nothing much to say about him as we were never really close.
This Fathers Day will be a quiet affair for me and my siblings as my dad left us about a month ago. The irony is, we never really celebrated Fathers Day anyway, even when my dad was still around, as he was not the type to want to be celebrated.
We did not buy him presents as dad was a little fussy with things and he had no qualms stating his displeasure about them. If we got him a shirt that was not to his liking, he would not wear it. If we bought him socks with patterns and colours that were not pleasing to his eyes, he would just chuck them aside. Thus, to make him happy, we would just give him an angpow, for all special occasions.
