SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS!

Dear Papa,

I recently realized the true depth and breadth of your presence. You
may not have been as vocal as Mom, and you may never have been the
parent who escorted us around from activity to activity, or even the first
parent we called in times of despair, all of that has always been mother’s
job. But, I’ve realized that your spirit, your influence, your character, and
your quiet, yet strong presence are invaluable to me.

I know you to be warm-hearted and caring, loving and nurturing. I know

you to be soft and thoughtful. I know you to be a philosopher of sorts, a
writer, an intellectual, a critic and a thinker of deep thoughts. I know you to
be a speaker, a lighter of rooms and a challenger of nonsense. I know you to
be mysterious, foreign, and a holder of sacred thoughts. I know you to be all
of these things and more, even if no one else can see it. You’ve taught me to
be fair, humble, kind, independent; to be a rebel, a hippie, and to be open. In
you I see the gift of inherit, impeccable intelligence and the richness born
from a devotion to order. Thank you for always answering when I call. Even if
you say, "Are you okay? I'm at work, I will call you in a couple minutes." You
always call back to answer my question. Thank you for treating me like a
lady and raising me to be the woman I have become. You taught me how to
be respectful, humble, and caring all at the same time. I know what to look
for in a future husband since you have always been such a gentleman to my
mother and myself. But thank you for being a jokester too. You made sure I
understood that not everything in life is going to come easy and that I need
to have thick skin in this world we live in. You may not always crack the best
jokes, but you make sure to put a smile on my face every time I see you.

So, to my dad, thank you. Thank you for being the man you are. A
teacher, a coach, a comedian, a hard worker, a father, a husband, and a
friend. We may not get along 100% of the time, or always be on the same
page, but we are family and I am thankful for that.

Your Daughter, Angelica B. Chua
