I'm glad I'll get to see my Dad again tonight after being home alone for 5 days!! ^_^ This time when he wasn't around, I happened to had not much activities or anything important to do... So most of the time I was home by myself watching DVD or reading.
I felt so lonely knowing that there's no one else at home. Lonely for getting into the house and say "I'm home" but hearing no reply. Lonely for not hearing his footsteps outside my bedroom at 5am in the morning. Lonely for eating "emergency food" for lunch (at home on weekend) and dinner (every night). So now I know it must be lonelier for him to be left alone in the house everyday when I'm at work. Now I understand why lately he asked a lot of questions and was so happy when I told him I had no plans to go out on weekends.
My Dad wakes up very early in the morning to get the car ready for me to go to work. He cooks my breakfast every morning too. Even if it's the same food everyday, I won't get bored since it's one of my fave world and I know it takes effort for him to do it for me. Whenever I call him in emergency (usually because the old car broke in the middle of nowhere), he'd change his clothes in an instant and take a taxi to wherever I am.
Whenever he's going for a trip, he will call me everyday to check if everything is alright. We go to church together every Sunday and sometimes on we'll go to a bookstore together after church... that's our valuable time together.
I hope his flight will land safely tonight. I can't wait to get home and see him again. And when I open the door, instead of saying "I'm home", I'd like to tell him outloud: "WELCOME HOME POPS!"
