Kids have this concept that fathers are larger than life and I am no exception when I was still a kid. As a child, I was made to believe that Papa can do just anything, that he is invincible until I reached the right age and finally realized that he is as imperfect as other people. Bottom line, he is not exempted. Despite his apparent imperfections, it did not change our love for him. Personally, it made my love for my father even more intense.
If there is one person who taught me lessons from fictional characters, it was Papa. I vividly remember those treasured moments when he would read children stories during bed time. Papa shared some precious moments teaching me how to maneuver the bicycle. I would say that I’m lucky to have him because I did not learn biking and driving all by myself. Papa was the one who pushed me and encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zones. Going beyond my comfort zones with him by my side was like learning something with a truly loving coach.
For his athletes, Papa was a responsible baseball coach but for me he was a life coach. He has a big dream for me. I remember him telling me that I’ll go places. Today, I say that God will bring me to places He wants me to be.
Papa is a superman. He is an educator, a coach, a carpenter, a farmer, a fisherman, a father, a husband to my Mama, and a friend. You see, he is more than life.
As a father, his love for us is more than enough. He is not a perfect father but he is the only father I have.
The inspiring story of Dick and Rick Hoyt reminds me of my Papa. Every time I watch the video of the Hoyt team, it always brings me to tears. It not only reminds of my father but it reminds me of God’s love for us. Such unconditional love motivates me to put up a family where such kind of love is overflowing.
