Quotes About Father's Day Novels & Stories

The only reason my father wasn't here to help me is because he's getting too old to run a cafe. He officially retired about a year ago. I was glad he was finally getting a break, because now he can focus on himself. He puts others before him, spending more time worrying about others and less time on himself. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's drained him over the years. Which is why I refuse to ask for his help with anything. Because knowing my father, he would try and work another ten years and end up burning himself out completely.

Mas nagiging madalas ang pag-aaway nila nang nanalo si Dad bilang gobernador ng probinsiya. "Lance, pasensiya ka na kay Daddy, marami kasi siyang ginagawa kaya hindi siya makakapunta rito para sa family day," pang-aalo ni Mommy sa akin nang nadismaya ako dahil wala si Dad sa family day. Pero kahit kailan hindi ko narinig na sinisiraan ni Mommy si Dad sa mga pagkukulang niya. Intindihin at babawi next time ang palaging sinasabi niya kapag may nakakaligtaan itong mahahalagang okasyon. Birthday ko, birthday ni Mommy at kahit anniversaries nila.

Isa pa'y marami namang lalaki ang makakapagsabi sa no'n dito. "If there's one thing I am really scared to lose in this life, it's not the people who loves me but the people I love truly. Be it my friends, my family, my parents especially my father. . . I wanna keep him because he is the proof that I still have the heart to love, he is the source of my strength. Without him, I'll be nothing, I'll be weak. Without him I don't have reason to love and if I don't love at all, nobody will ever love me as well. Thank you!"

I can't imagine na lalambot din ang puso ni Daddy. "Thank you so much, Dad!" sambit ko. "R-Really, sir? T-Thank you. Thank you so much," sabi naman ni Clinton. "You both are welcome. Well, Canada, I hope you both find happiness. I don't want to repeat the history itself. Much time has already been wasted, and I don't want to waste more," sagot ni Daddy habang tinatapik-tapik ang likod ko. Hindi ako makapaniwalang nangyayari sa 'kin 'to!

Felicity gave a polite and courteous smile. “Salamat po sa compliment, Tito. My dad was supposed to come and have a drink with you today, with Mom, but something came up and he couldn’t make it. You know, when it comes to serving the country, we can’t be careless, so please forgive him. Busy lang siya ngayon eh.” Pagak na tumawa ang matanda. “Oh, I understand. Your father even sent me a huge gift. Ayaw ko nga sanang tanggapin, kaso ay birthday ko. Ayon tinanggap ko na lang…”

May parte sa puso ko ang naghihinmagsik, hindi mapalagay at hindi makaintindi ng salitang iyon. "Uh, forgiveness is..." i stumble. I remain in my pace and think what adliv word should i use right now. "Forgiveness is useless to those hearts who forget about it." Natigilan silang lahat sa sinabi ko. "Ano ang ibig mong sabihin, hijo?" medyo nabahala si Father sa sagot ko. I cleched my jaw and round my fist. I start to contruct my story.

Doon ko na tinakpan ang bibig ko para pigilan ang mga hikbing gustong kumawala sa akin. "I'm sorry for being rude. I didn't mean to. I just want to to test your patience but you give up so easily. Why? Aren't you happy that you see me? Because if you ask about me...I am. I am so happy that finally, after how many years. You're here. Finally after so many years I can have someone whom I can call my own...my father." "Please I'm begging you, d-don't give up. I still want to spend more time with you. I want to create memories with you. I want to travel the world with you. I want to grow up knowing that I have you beside me...Dad."

“I’m sorry, sweetie. I’m sorry.” Sa labis na sakit na nararamdaman ni Anna ay niyakap niya ang kanyang ama. "You don't need to wait for my forgiveness, Dad. You haven't done anything wrong. It wasn't your fault, so please stop blaming yourself," wika nito habang lumuluha. "Dad, if you're under the impression that you haven't fulfilled your duties as a father, let me assure you that you're the epitome of fatherhood in my eyes. Your love, sacrifices, and unwavering support have shaped me into who I am today. No one could ever take your place in my heart. You are the only dad I'll ever need, and I will cherish and love you until the end of time, through every trial and triumph life may bring. T

she said as she touched my heart. I looked at her soft yet beautiful hands. “You have a beautiful hand, mom,” I muttered softly. I heard her soft chuckles. “Promise me, Eve,” “What, mommy?” “Promise me that no matter what you dad do, you will love him, he is not perfect, but he is also a human,” “I promise mommy!” “Oh, Eve. I love you so much,” “I love you more, mommy!” Maybe… maybe it’s her words that always remind me to love my father despite my anger, it’s the promise that I gave to her. A promise that I cannot break because I promised that day, then day she isn’t breathing anymore.

She awkwardly replied. “My baby doesn’t need a Daddy. I am enough.” Sagot ko at deretsong naglalakad. “Iza, hindi habang panahon ay ikaw lang kailangan niya. Dadating at dadating ang araw na magtatanong ‘yan kung sino ang ama niya. Someday, he will need a Daddy. What will you do then?” Sunod na sunod na tanong niya. Napahinto ako at napa-isip. Yeah, and that someday, parang ngayon na iyon. Tiningnan ko ang batang tulog na tulog pa ‘rin sa yakap ko. My precious baby, the one that came to me when I have nothing. My precious gift.
