My papa

I'm so thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with a good earthly papa. My papa didn't finished school, He didn't even finished high school. At an early age around 18 to 19 years old he started working while me and most people at that age were still studying and enjoying life. My papa is an industrious person, he works hard for us. He wakes up early at around four in the morning, We're not rich but my papa was able to send us to school and make me finished college. I finished school three years ago, thanks to my papa, his boss who help us financially and of course thanks to my Heavenly Father who help us during tough times. When I graduated from kindergarten, elementary, high school and college, my papa was not able to attend the graduation ceremony because of his work. He cannot afford to get absent, I don't take it against him because I understand the situation. I know he needs to work for us. But he was able to see my college graduation through DVD though, thanks to the technology. I know he's proud of me. Every night my father would give us vitamin and water, He's not just reminding us, telling us to drink vitamin but he give it to each of us personally. Every morning my papa would put my vitamin in the dining table so I won't forget to drink it. When I had overnight at office my papa would prepare my vitamins and put it inside my bag and would text me to remind me to drink it. Despite being tired from work, he still make time to prepare my bed for me. When one of us got sick, he would always call home from work from time to time asking if we're okay. Sometimes he would even drop by to see whether we're okay or feeling well. I remember when I resigned from my first job and started applying for another job, He keeps on asking if I still have money for transportation fare and for food. He never pressure me even if I wasn't able to find a job immediately. My papa is good, he's nice, he's patient with us, I won't replace him from any other papa in this world. The only problem I have with my papa is his salvation. He's not a Christian but I keep on praying to my Heavenly Father for my papa's salvation and I know at God's perfect time my papa would accept Christ as his personal Savior.

Happy father’s day!
