Who gives us a truly unchangeable and immense love?

Thank you very much for sharing with me, my Dear!!!

Thanks Dad!

Yes, It is not a special day to me but a father among those on this blue planet. It must be! Of course, I cannot feel the same but at least today is not a normal one to my father, also one of a man who I do respect. I do not know how he feels as today is the last day in his career that he does love and is very proud of it. 35 year served for the safety of community, devoted all of his youth and passion to that high risk job. Well, he is not a legend daddy and even did not get the highest rank or position in the force, but with a couple times being praised for his great performances against crimes or shooting contest in newspapers and on local, national TV channels and some beautiful awards are enough to make me proud of him. We used to be familiar with his absence at home and even more, the transiting point of time from old lunar year to the new, over 30 times, because of the task of maintaining citizen's safety. I don't care about his absence as I have thought that I would have more freedom if he was at work since I was a child at the beginning of cognition because he looks very strict and hard.

There was probably a small party for his retirement at the office, and this evening there should have been another party at home for his turning point. However, he is doing a new job tonight and have no rest day. If today were Saturday or Sunday, It would be much better. He would have perfect farewell parties.

I left home after high school and worked far from home or at the opposite part of the country, and have traveling hobby, in addition, my father was busy with his tasks, therefore, we didn't have much time to have a word like other families. Two of us are hard men having something in common but not good partners to talk. I have made him unhappy with all my own decisions and haven't made him proud of me. Men do not show their feeling openly, in the mid of 30s I know it's true. I think I don't have much nice memories with my father like others, there some when he took me and later with my younger brother to the "Tam Hoan" or "Phong Lan" for ice cream, Do Son beach (at the age of 5 to 7 it was the biggest gift). How often do you feel the love of a father or have you ever thought of it? I feel it when he took me for taking high school entrance examinations, especially to Hanoi for university entrance exams on a rainy day and returned my hometown in a beautiful afternoon with the weak sunlight of late day in mid summer spreading on immense rice-fields, far far away on the sky some kites and storks flew leisurely above a small village, what a calm and an unforgettable picture I got when I was on the back of my father's motorbike. I didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. Also, when he took or picked me up from or to the bus, railway station or airports where I would spend months to years for studying or working, I could touch his love and cares for his son by shaking and waving hand. I like his saying, he told me when I was a lazy butt that "A stone will be there forever if no one takes it up or move it, and pls consider if it is your responsibility to do something with the stone."

I do want to navigate my life-ship in my own way and often have different decisions with my parents'. They may be unhappy with what I have done so far but never afraid of me facing with difficulties or occurrences at life whether I live in my hometown or very far from home, as they are sure that I know how to deal with any problems.

"I am manoeuvring my life-ship and even if it may not ahead to a wonderland, I am still happy during my long trip. Pls, don't worry. Sailing on the same route that have been already paved by someone is not my way of life spending. And I know who brought me to this world, and has given me what they have, I do not talk to you much and may not be there when you need. I am probably a bad son, but you are always the man who I respect most in my life. Thank you, Dad! Thank you for being my dad, for your devoting, the quiet sacrifice and all. Wish you best on your new job!"
