There's only one dad, so; Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Dad, just this one day marked on the calendar for you isn't enough to give back that selfless, pure love of yours.

Because near or far, you are part of that place we know we can always come back to, because it's "HOME".

You kept watch, you worried, and you saw our potential before anyone else.

You put up with our awkward teenage years, and what years they were.

You endured the "bad mood" every time we snapped back a; "don't stress me out" like that, point-blank and utterly convinced we were right.

You stoically survived our first parties and knew you'd never sleep the same again if we weren't home.

You even tried to put on a brave face for that thug of a first boyfriend, the one not even we liked, but hey, he was good for causing trouble, and how.

And even so, with all our great youthful exploits, you never doubted that we'd straighten out and become people to be proud of.

Thank you for everything and for so much. Now and always, happy Father's Day.

You'll always have a pair of slippers, Marpen of course, waiting in each of our houses, shared flats and tiny studios. Because you deserve it all.

If you still don't have a special gift or a heartfelt message, at Marpen you can find it all 😉 😉. Drop the formalities and plant a big kiss on that dad of yours.
