hadiah hari bapa kepada anak

Saya sangat tidak gemar orang forwarding mssg dan saya sangat jarang foward mssg orang lain dalam blog atau email saya. Tetapi saya akur kadang-kadang apa yang telah ditulis oleh orang lain lebih touching, seperti yang disisipkan disini.

....Di tujukan khusus untuk anak-anakku; Balqis, Luqman, Anisah, maryam, Nurul izzati dan Ikhwan

"...Me and My Father
When I was 4 years old: My father is THE BEST
When I was 6 years old: My father seems to know everyone
When I was 10 years old: My father is excellent but he is short tempered
When I was 12 years old: My father was nice when I was little
When I was 14 years old: My father started being too sensitive

When I was 16 years old: My father can't keep up with modern time
When I was 18 years old: My father is getting less tolerant as the days pass by
When I was 20 years old: It is too hard to forgive my father, how could my mum stand
him all these years
When I was 25 years old: My father seems to be objecting to everything I do
When I was 30 years old: It's very difficult to be in agreement with my father,
I wonder if my Grandfather was troubled by my father when he was a youth
When I was 40 years old: My father brought me up with a lot of discipline, I must do
the same

When I was 45 years old: I am puzzled, how did my father manage to raise all of us
When I was 50 years old: It's rather difficult to control my kids, how much did my
father suffer for the sake of upbringing and protecting us
When I was 55 years old: My father was far looking and had wide plans for us,
he was gentle and outstanding

When I became 60 years old: My father is THE BEST

Note that it took 56 years to complete the cycle and return to the starting point
"My Father is THE BEST"

Let's be good to our parents before it's too late and pray to ALLAH that our own
children will treat us even better than the way we treated our parents.
