My dad, My hero.



So it was my dad's birthday the other day and I just thougt I’d write something about him. 
          
My dad has four girls and he has always believed in us. When all his friends bought flashy cars and built houses, my dad saved up for us. He always makes sure we're as comfortable as he can afford. My dad is not rich, but he saved up to give his children quality and expensive education. I remember when I just got into the university; he gave me #100,000 as pocket money. Though I was never extravagant, I was very comfortable throughout my stay in the university. My mom says all the time that she would have argued if anyone told her that her children would attend private universities.
        
I graduated with a second class lower division, and that is my biggest regret so far. He didn't chastise me for it though. He said he saw no reason why I couldn't have performed better, but that I still did well and he will always be proud of us. I felt totally disappointed in myself, but more than that, I felt like I failed him. That I couldn't bear. What was I thinking to have put in anything less than my best, when I knew all the while how this man toils. This degree won't stop me though, I vowed to myself that from then on I'll put in my best in whatever I do. If not for myself, then for my dad. I will never fail him again! My dad is over 60 years and we still live in a rented apartment.

I can’t wait to fulfill our dad's desires on his behalf, I shall make my dad very proud. Buy him nice cars, send him on vacations, buy him a nice house Etcetera. He deserves it.

Ps: We moved to our own house years ago, after I wrote this. I’m thinking of sharing this post with him on his next birthday🤔
