Daddy...

Since my Feb OSCEs are finally out of the way, I now have some time off in my hands. What else do I do other than catch up on lost drama episodes that I have been keeping for times exactly like now... So I was watching Criminal Minds (after finally updating myself with all the episodes of Bones up until the current episode =P).

This Criminal Minds episode was about the kidnapping of two teenage girls, one of them being the daughter of an ex-assassin who was under the witness protection unit. When his daughter was taken from him, although he promised on his wife's deathbed that he will leave all the killing behind him and change his ways, he went on a vengeance spree and hunted them down. And finally killing those boys off, one by one. He now faces heavy penalty for what he's done but he did it for his daughter. And watching that made me think....

And I'm sure all the daughters who have a father like mine will understand what I'm trying to say. He may be overbearing at times, always wanting to fight my battles for me, always treating me like the little princess I was maybe 10 years ago. And I whine about it a lot, and I mean, A LOT. But deep down, I know. I know that if anybody dare hurt me, he would be the first person to save me. I am certain, that my father, who spends his time minding his garden, would be able to load a shot gun if it would mean to save me. I am almost convinced now that no man in my entire lifetime would ever love me as much as my father does.

So to everyone whose life is made hard from an overbearing father, I think it's healthy to sometimes think back to the simple fact that out fathers love us, no matter what. And at least we have a father who is there and who cares, which is much more than what others out there may have..
