Old Celebration, New Meaning Part 2
Happy Father's Day?
How ironic; role reversal. Used to be joyous Father's Days in our family. My dad was the hero and the role model. The one who'd 'secretly' allow us playtime at the amusement center as a reward for a hard day's work. The one who'd entertain my mother's babyish behavior as well as temper tantrums. The one who'd be the most charismatic person on the block as he demonstrates the wonders of the marvellous contraption called multi-purpose food processor. 'Shimono', 'Kitchen Mate', you name it, he's done it. A veteran. *feeble laughter* Life's a stage huh. Sorry Dad, curtain's drawn. Act's over. What you hid as a hideous past has finally caught up with you. Whatever you refused to conquer has finally conquered you. When will you come to your senses?!
"I don't wanna play anymore,
Not when the stakes are so high.
So before we circle round once more,
Gonna lay down,
Just lay down this PRIDE." -Corinne May
Let it go, Dad.
