"Those we love never go away, they walk beside us every single day."
Today marks the 15th death anniversary of my father, so something I've penned right there dedicated to him.
*Rant hour begins* I'm about to be honest here, I don't remember my father's face or the time we spent beacuse he left around the time when I was a year and a half. From what I've heard so many times is that he was a man of noble qualities which remain forevermore. When I was about 7 or 8, I'd get frustrated because I live in a society which is downright patriarchal in every sense and I'll never experience what my companions would talk about is fatherly love. A father is a daughter's most coveted companion and I never got to experience that and henceforth I would be weeping, crying because I didn't know what happened. When I got a bit older I learned that he died from a long illness. I never really felt the void because my family never let me. My mother never let me feel it, she has been a rock for me and I'm so glad to have a supportive family, my belated uncles and grandparents were nothing but kind, so whatever I am today, I pretty much owe it to them and also my father, beacuse his absence taught me so many things that I wasn't supposed to. I hope he is happy with how I turned out to be. :) *Rant hour ends*
