i've been sleeping over at my parents' place a lot lately and whenever i do, i park along the alley as there is no more space in the garage for my car. well, last night when i arrived, was i surprised to see from the dashboard a parking guide painted on the wall. it's basically a big letter H where i have to align my car's width on the vertical lines and hood on the horizontal line. above the horizontal line was painted 'Park' and below, 'Iñgat' ~ Take Care. oh... sweet : ) morning i saw my dad with a can and paintbrush, i didn't know he was doing something for me. i am touched and i am thankful.
my dad is not the touchy-feely type of guy, not big on hugs, not at all into PDAs. but he takes very, very good care of you.
i remember vividly up to now something that happened way back in my college years. i was supposed to go to class already but my dad hasn't come back with the car. i didn't want to be late, so i decided to take the jeep. UP was three rides away from our place, two very, very short rides plus one that's not really that long (the katipunan part). so i was on the second ride and upon alighting from the jeep, was i taken aback when i saw my dad exaggeratedly waving at me, ha-ha-ha. it turns out he arrived shortly after i left and followed me to the terminal. he could have just let me complete my commute. but no, he followed me and took me to my destination.
i felt so loved and so well taken care of... i am lucky and i am really, really thankful...
