Happy Birthday Ayah

Sixty six years ago, this man was born. He grew up in a big family with a medium income. His student life wasn't so bright but later he became a hardworking man. He was independent and managed to build his own family. Being not highly educated, he was contended with the job he had. He worked hard to make sure that his wife and children never had to starve. He earned enough money to send his children for higher education, so that they all could have a brighter future and life. He was a strict, yet tolerable father. He did not speak much but his actions said everything. He is now a retired old man, still strong and healthy, biiznillah, and always hope for the best for his wife and children.

He is my beloved father, who turns 66 today. May Allah bless him with happiness in the world and grant him jannah in the hereafter. I will always love you, Ayah, regardless of what condition. You are not perfect, but you will always be my perfect hero of my life. You brought me up to become a human, you showered me with your unconditional love and you cherish my life with your presence. I would never find anyone to replace you.

I accepted all your short doings and weaknesses. To err is human. I will always take care of you until you close your eyes. I am truly sorry for all my wrong doings and immature acts. Forgive all my sins, ayah, as for Allah's bless depends on your bless. No matter what others say about you, you are always the man in my heart. Without you, I would have never been born to this world. Without you, I wouldn't be what I am today. EVERYTHING came from your blessings. Thank you Ayah for being there for me.

For those out there who ever thought of disowning your own father, think thousand times. You are not exist today if not because of him. And sooner or later, you will become a father. Would you like to be disown by your own children? Appreciate your father while you still can. Remember, what goes around, will come around. Do good to others, others will do good to you. No matter how bad your father treated you (bad is subjective), you should never do the same or even worse to him back. There is no way a revenge should be allowed. Again, appreciate your father (and of course, your mother) while he is still alive.
