Can't Buy Me...


A new dad.
I never realized how much I missed you until now. After eight months passing, I still think you would be coming up the stairs into our living room with a bag full of chocolate just for me, even if I didn't ask you for it. Sometimes when I wake up late in the morning, I smell the smoke of ur cigarettes and come sit beside you and ask if you want me to make you Turkish Coffee. I miss the freshly brewed coffee scent.
No one understood me as much as you did. When I feel you've been annoyed by someone, or sad because of some problems, I try to make some jokes, and discuss with you fun stuff that you enjoy talking about.
Even if I rolled my eyes when you gave me lots and lots of lectures and advice, you should know that when I sat alone thinking about what you said, I realize that evidently you were right.
You were the one I called first when I got into trouble while at University. But unfortunately, you were the last one to know when I failed one of my courses, because I never wanted to disappoint you. You've stood by me every second. I'm sorry if I've let you down sometimes. I was hoping you would make it to my graduation from university, and I'm sure you were there somewhere but I couldn't see you.
I just wanted you to know that I've come a long way and earned a college degree because of you and mom. I won't disappoint you anymore, I promise dad. I'll keep my head up high and accept the challenges in life.
If people value physical stuff like money, I value you the most. You're irreplaceable. You gave us love, security, and care. Money can't buy me another loving dad like you. I can't say anything more. You're the world's greatest dad and I love you...
