Fathers day post! :)

I think its safe to say I've seen every baby related video in Youtube. But this has got to be my ultimate favorite!!!! =) If this video didn't make you go "AWWWW" then I don't know what else can. hehe 

The best gift we can give our kids, is the gift of time. We may bust our ass working to provide them with nasty priced honey tinted Avent bottles, but the gift of time is one that they carry, one that helps them grow in their journey called life. They may be too young to remember, but pictures or videos will remind them how much they are loved and cared for. This digital generation, we are given the privilege to take advantage of moments like this. So, show it. Capture it.  I've given up night outs, parties even travel for our safety. Those are just one of the many things I've given up since I got pregnant, and complications kicked in. I may never be able to do any of those ever, but I know everything is going to be worth it. I may be sitting on a Friday night watching Disney cartoons, with Dora on cue while friends are out on a bbq party, gargling Jack Daniels, or maybe even on a kick ass  Avici party. Regrets? None. Happy? ultimately. :)

The video takes me back to my earliest memory with my dad. My dad, who was the first person to teach me how to swim. Half the fun I had with my dad had something to do with swimming. :) 

I would never trade my childhood with my dad over the riches of the world. I wish I was a kid again, for just one day. Spend it with my dad, swimming, and planting veggies. But.. I grew up. Maybe not according perfectly to his liking. But the grumpy old man who was least affectionate, loved me. I know so, this picture shows. Now that he is gone, I only have pictures like this to remind me that one day, he dropped the man card, cuddled his little girl, his bunso.

"Diane, kumain ka na dyan." was the last thing he told me. But being the grumpy old man that he is, I knew it meant more than that. :-)

Happy Fathers day!!!! =)
