Happy Birthday Papa!

Today is my hubby's birthday. Last year, my hubby did tell me that this year will be a very busy year for him. My hubby left home around 7.30am and reached home at 7pm if not more. By 9pm, 3 of my sons had already fall asleep. My sons spend only a few hours with their papa. I knew how much my sons miss their wonderful papa. So, I did this on behalf on my sons to express their feelings that will be given to their lovely papa.


I traced my hubby's shoes and print my third son's footprints into the center of my hubby's shoe print.

On the left shoe print, the caption is:

"Dearest Papa,

I'm walking in your footsteps, Papa
Walk slow so I can keep up
Walk carefully so I don't get hurt
Walk where I can learn to be

all you want me to be,
because I'm following you every day."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAPA.

On the right footprint, the caption is:

Walk a little slower, Daddy.


Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You are what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child,
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."

We love you, Papa.

When my sons presented to their papa, he was so touched and will put it up at his personal board in his office.


This idea is actually for father's day but since the caption is so beautiful, I just can't wait any longer!

Itulah hakikat keterbatasan yg CY pelajari dlm hidup ini. Byk perkara yg terhad dan kita tidak dpt mengubahnya. Kalu difikir2 ada baiknya Da tak bekerja..
Kalu Da bekerja, masa yg Da ada utk anak2 juga terhad, dahla masa dgn bapa mrk terhad..sekrg2nya Da dpt menampung/membalance masa yg tak dpt diisi oleh bapa mrk, wp mrk ttp mendambakan kehadiran bapa mrk..
Kalaupun nanti mrk semua dah bersekolah, tp bila mrk balik dr sekolah mama dia ada di rumah. Dan masa mrk kat sekolah mrk tau mama mrk di rumah sdg menunggu mrk..
Ini bkn kempen agar Da tak bekerja tp hy satu sudut pandangan sj.
Mmgla dgn tak bekerja kita dilihat sbg org yg ketinggalan di belakang oleh sesetgh org, tak ada pencapaian dan kemajuan, mcm katak di bwh tempurung dsb..
Dgn tak bekerja juga kita tiada wang sendiri yg blh kita gunakan sesuka hati, tak dpt menambah pendpatan isi rumah dan dgn itu tak dpt bermewah2 atau berlbh2 sikit, tak dpt juga membantu umi dan ayah..
Ttp setiap sesuatu ada harganya, dan harganya bknlah sedikit. Agaknya itulah hikmah Da tak bekerja skrg, sekrg2nya di masa anak masih keccil ini..

Ibu WA Alim....terharunya CY macam faham je apa yang terbuku...tula bab x dapat kasi duit kat umi n ayah adalah yang paling ralat.....

Takkanla Cy tak fhm, Cy pun berada pd kedudukan yg lbh krg sama dgn Da..wp ada perbezaan dr segi qualifikasi..byk hasrat2 yg tak tertunai..tp setlh sampai ke umur yg sebegini Cy harus mengerti bhw tlh Allah susun/takdirkan perjalanan hidup kita sebegini..apa lagi yg Cy blh hrpkan dr sisa2 umur yg masih ada, hdklah Cy redha dgn ketetapannya..semuanya adalah cabaran/dugaan/ujian agar kita menjadi seorg yg lbh kuat, tabah dan sabar..Ingatlah mudah2an di sana Allah menanti kita semua dgn syurga..
