Fathers.

So today, I decided to write a journal although I already 'struck-out'. Today's topic is on how much I love my parents and my family. I realize that there are times when I get mad at them, or they get mad at me, and I wished I didn't have parents. But right now, at this moment, I am forever grateful. You know how sometimes in a day, you encounter a certain topic many times in just that one day. Well, when that happens to me, I consider it as my 'lesson of the day'. So today, my 'lesson' was on how fathers are important. Last Friday, my dad came back from Belgium. My mom, brother, and dad all kept it a secret from me. Originally, I thought he was coming back the coming Friday, but he came back a week earlier than I expected. So when I saw him last Friday, I was so happy I actually started crying. He came back at just the right time. I was stressed about my SATs so I'm glad to have had my dad with me during my stressful moments. So anyway, today, my friend sent me a youtube link of a video about life insurance, and although it was an advertisement, it was a really touching one. It was on how a father was dying, and he was making a video for a daughter (who was maybe about 6 at the time) and told her in the video that he was playing 'hide-and-seek' with her, and how this time, the game is going to be longer. Anyways, the video was really touching. It brought me to tears. I think it brought a LOT of people to tears, because later on, I saw the video on the news channel. Apparently, it has already reached 80,000 views or something. Then, when I was doing homework, I was listening to music, and 'Hurt' by Christina Aguilera came up. It's about how she lost her dad and how she's sorry for everything. So basically, today, a lot about 'being grateful for your father' subjects came up. So it's my lesson of the day. I love my dad. :')
