IT TAKES A LIFETIME to realize that one’s Dad was the best

IT TAKES A LIFETIME to realize that one’s Dad was the best

WHEN I WAS 4 years, I knew my dad to be THE BEST!

WHEN I WAS 6, I also knew Dad to have known it all…

WHEN I WAS 10 years of age, I knew Dad to be good…

WHEN I WAS 12 years, I began to think that Dad wasn’t as good as he was when I was a little boy…

WHEN I WAS 14 years old, I began discovering him to be more temperamental and stricter as never before…

WHEN I WAS 16, I was convinced that he was old school, and was not up to standard-to the current times we live in…

WHEN I TURNED 18, I thought Dad was very intolerant and hard to communicate with & also difficult to get along with…

WHEN I TURNED 20, I realized that he wasn’t an easy person, and began wondering how Mom was able to put up with him in all the years of marriage… 

WHEN I TURNED 25, it seemed like he had many objections to everything that i did…

WHEN I TURNED 30, I was convinced that we were not on the same page, and that nothing would ever please him…

WHEN I TURNED 40, I then only began to realize how good my upbringing was, and that I should also raise my kids up in the same way…

WHEN I TURNED 45, I started wondering how did Dad ever put up with all the challenges he faced with us whilst we were growing up…

WHEN I TURNED 50, I realized how difficult it was for Dad to have educated us and trying to instill good manners in us, thus I began wondering how he managed to tolerate our excuses.

WHEN I WAS 55 years of age, I only then started realizing the wisdom & foresight my Dad had of life in getting us to where we are today…

WHEN I TRUNED 50, ONLY then did I eventually realized that MY DAD WAS THE BEST.

IT TAKES US A LIFECYCLE TO REALLY APPRECIATE OUR FATHER.
