kakek's birthday

Apr 10, '10 10:49 AM
for everyone
today is my dad's birthday.
if i have to describe him in words,i must say that he's such a courageous, determined, strict, yet loving and caring man. i still remember it clearly how he was being so strict about the time we must be at home on weekend no matter what. we must be at home at 8 pm on weekdays and 9 pm on weekend. it was a quite irritating rule for a teen who loved to have activities outside the house like i used to be. that's why i found my relationship with him wasnt so close those days.

though everything is change at the moment i stepped in my college years. i started to view him in a different way. i studied at a uni which was in a dfferent city from my parents house. one day i was very sick, and it was impossible for me to go home by myself. i remember how it was in a rainy day he came(still in his working uniform) and stood in front of my rent room and helped me to pack my clothes. in the car i just realised that he alone is sick. he got this terrible cold and never stopped coughing while driving..couldnt help myself from crying but he just caressed my head and smiled.

and there was a moment when i felt that it would be better for my family if i just stop studying (temporarily) and get a job so i could ease his burden just a little bit. he seemed a bit upset when i uttered it then he told me that i should keep up the optimism i used to have. we should only live a bit more simple than before..if that what it should take to help his children to complete his education, it's completely okay to him. all he wants from me is, i keep focusing on my study. i found the words somewhat very encouraging. then it was a very blessed day when i finally could give him the invitation from the uni to my parents, to attend my graduation day. alhamdulillah :-)

there are still many things and lessons that i've got from him. inshaallah i will remember them all

happy birtday dear dad! may Allah bless you always. amiin ya Robbal alamiin
