I love you, yes I do, I do...
I do not remember when I first saw your blue eyes. I can not remember the first word I said to you. I have no idea what you really felt when you first held me - a helpless bundle of joy in your strong arms twenty six years ago.
There were many sad moments, though. I did not always understand you. I still sometimes do not. We are so different and sometimes I see a copy of you inside myself. I wish I knew what you really felt when you talked today with me. I even did not see you today. You are away. As always. That's life. Beautiful and sad. I just hope you felt my good wishes I sent to you today. I hope you felt.
Today you're older. Today you're celebrating your birthday. I wish I could bake a cake for you.
I hope one day I will tell you what I really feel. But are there any words for that? The words that are like doors without the keys. I wish you happiness. I really hope I sometimes make you happy. I really hope so.

I am grateful for you and all the moments of happiness we've had together. I am happy for your being.
Happy birthday, papa! I love you...
Hi Daria
ReplyDeleteAgain a great post, with this one I have to admit that I have finished reading it with tears in my eyes. You have expressed your love to your father in such a fantastic way that I couldn’t help crying. It might be because of the fact that, I wouldn’t be able to do the same thing with my father.
I feel happy to know that you are surrounded with your beloved family.
By the way, I wish a Happy birthday to your father too.
Take care
Sergio
Dear Sergio,
Deletemy kind friend, my big soul friend,
I am also ready to cry when I reread my post. :D Well, honestly your comment touches my heart very much.
Thank you for the happy birthday wishes for my dad. I will tell him about it when I call him tomorrow.
Take care and be happy! Don't miss this chance to tell people around how much you care. Or at least to show it. I always have great difficulties with saying "I love you". :D My tongue hides away when I want to say it. But let's hope I'll be courageous enough to change it.
Hello Daria and Happy Birthday Daria's papa!
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweet daughter and I am sure your papa is proud of you!
Look at the picture, your dad held little Daria, and still he is holding your hands now. You are papa's beloved daughter,
For me and my dad, we cannot do that...It is Japanese who are shy to touch each other(even hands!..but you know he used to held baby Asako but why not now??)
Dear Asako
DeleteI have just noticed how different our cultures are. I was impressed by your words. For instance, can’t you go walking on the street hand with hand with your husband? Can’t you express your feelings to your son, your boyfriend, your cousin, or whoever kissing or hugging each other in the street? Or, may be I am wrong and I didn’t get you properly.
By the way, you can call me the way you like the most. My real name is Sergio, and Mergui is the way people used to call me when I was young, but there are still lots of people who call me mergui, and I like it too. So, it is up to you the way you call me. I like both very much.
Best wishes
Sergio/Mergui. As you wish. Hahaha.;-)
Dearest Asako,
DeleteLike Sergio, our great Mergui,
I have the same question...
Well, in our Ukrainian culture it's normal and acceptable to hug and kiss our parents in public. In my case I am not such a 'hug' fan. Or I'd say my family is not that usual Ukrainian family. We don't always hug each other or kiss. My mom does it only when I have my birthday or something really special. :D She loves me like crazy, though. But she's reserved this way. My dad is a total opposite. He loves hugging me and kissing me. He still treats me as if I were his "little Daria"...:D Sometimes it annoyes me. But I am happy he feels this way. It's his way of showing how much he cares.
But I don't think love should be only demonstrated by hugs and kisses in front of other people. I am afraid that if I ever get married I won't show any physical sign of care and love in front of other people. But if I had kids, I'd surely hug and kiss them day and night and in front of thousand of people. :)
Hello my dear friends, Sergio and Daria!
DeleteOf course, we hug and kiss between the couple, parents to the babys. but we seldom do in publlic. people hug for the joy when they win the game or exam. kiss..no way in public!!
Japanese are so shy to be looked by strangers.
It is great custom to show their feeling straight to the family in that way. I and my husband sometimed hold hands on the street and I kiss my little boy hundred times!
I hope I can kiss my boy forever..usually kids do not like to be kissed when they enter the school, so sad!!)
Hi Asako,
DeleteI think I am very close to your Japanese culture despite having Ukrainian blood! :D I don't express my personal feelings in public. I do it at home. :)
