To the World's Best Dad

It's been 5 years today but he didn't leave our hearts even for 5 secs. I couldn't imagine how I would live my life not having someone of a family member around. Now I could and living it, BUT not by choice. If I were given a chance, I'd have exchange my dad with anything else in this world. Reality is harsh that way and it's all part of growing up. We learn to accept what's given to us, either good or bad. Harder if it's bad but we'll learn.

He was and still THE Greatest Dad. All of us miss him especially on this day. He left this shitty world on the exact same day, 5 years back before the dawn arrives, for a better place. If he's given a chance, I'm sure he'd buy a few more years just so he could do a greater good and to be fully prepared to go. But it was all so sudden and uncontrollable. The parting is hard but I'm sure it was the end of pain and sufferring for him. I'm contented that I was blessed enough to see him go and had a chance to bid him the final farewell.

I love you Phay Phay! You'll always be missed. No 'thank you' is enough for what you've done for the family and all of those who you've cared and helped when they needed the most. It's the noblest way to live a life like yours and I'm not sure if I could ever be able to do it myself.

Here's a little tribute to the World's Best Dad. This used to be one of his favourites. I miss him to the core whenever I listen to this. I miss you phay phay.

Capenters - Top of the World

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
