Dear Dad, Today, the whole world is celebrating Father's Day but you probably don't know. I miss you so much. Looking at my friends who are celebrating and giving best wishes to their fathers, i'm jealous and sad because this time, nobody gives any wish to my Dad (I don't know whether my brother knows anything about Father's Day since this day is not known in Vietnam).
Each time, missing your daughter, You only can only look at a small photo in your tiny mobile. You won't be able to read this letter, but I still want to write it anyway.
If only I were at home now, I would wash your hair, give you a massage, cook a good meal for you. I love hugging you and kissing on your cheeks even now I'm no longer a 5 or 10 years old little girl. I still remember every single memory we had. The first day I entered school, learning how to write first letter in alphabet, Mom was busy at work, you took a day off from your work to stay home just to teach me how to write nicely. Until now, if there is anyone gives me compliment about my handwriting, I feel thankful and proud of it so much.
I miss the time you stayed up whole night to help me answer my math homework and woke me up at 3am just to explain to me the answer. And the time I first had my period, you advised me what to do to protect and to take care of myself. I also remember your tears at the airport when you waited so long to see me walk out the Arrival hall. You were fearful of bad things might happen to me.
Now, I've grown up, I can survive on my own. I can go out to teach people, but to you, I'm forever your little girl. You always respect my thinking, talk to me as a friend regarding any important matters in our family. You made and taught me to be a strong, independent and smart woman and I really thank you for that.
Dad, but you know, living alone in overseas is not easy, especially for a young girl. I've encountered many problems throughout these years when I'm far away from you. Many times, I swallowed my tears and dealt with all the problems alone. I didn't want to tell you because I know you wouldn't be able to sleep. I didn't want you to worry about me.
On the occasion of Father's Day, I only want to wish you a good health and stay happy always. You look younger and more handsome when you are happy, you know that?
Happiness is shining through your eyes, i can see it. I will try to make you happy always, I promise. And you, please don't ever cry when you feel miss me so much.
I'm going to call you later when I finish writing this letter to you.
I love you!..
