At the end of the day …. “Dream for My Child”!!

Gut-Wrenching Ad Highlights The Sacrifices Parents Make For Their Kids Every Day

There’s nothing parents wouldn’t do for their kids, even if it means masking their own struggles.

This tear-jerking ad from MetLife Hong Kong is a tribute to the sacrifices parents make for their children on a daily basis.

Titled “‘My dad’s story’: Dream for My Child,” the commercial shows a father reading an essay his young daughter wrote about him.

As the little girl’s voice narrates the essay, she praises her father for being her “Superman,” “the sweetest daddy in the world,” “the smartest,” “the most clever,” and “the kindest.”

But then she reveals she knows more about her father than he lets on — the pain he hides behind his smile. “He lies,” she says. “He lies about having a job. He lies about having money. He lies that he’s not tired. He lies that he’s not hungry. He lies that we have everything.

He lies … because of me.”

Pass the freakin’ tissues.

Our fathers carry half of our genetic makeup. Our relationship with our father plays a huge part of who we will become. In many segments of society, people grow up without ever knowing their fathers. This is unfortunate because fathers should play as important a role in raising their children as mothers.

A father is the model of a man for his daughter and she will choose a man who is like him. A father is the model for his son as well. Fortunately, there is a trend for fathers to be more active in their children’s lives.

Robin Williams and daughter Zelda …. her message!!

~~August 13, 2014~~ 

I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says: “Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up.”

Man bursts into tears. Says: “But Doctor …. I am Pagliacci”.

 

A beautiful letter written by Zelda Williams …

“My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare.

My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.

To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too …

Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.”

It’s raining ….. awards!!!

~~April 10, 2014~~

As my good friend Patty, from http://petitemagique.wordpress.com/, frequently says, there is a shower of awards arriving at “It Is What It Is“.

It never ceases to amaze me.

It’s a wonderful feeling to feel that your “work” and message is appreciated. The real values of these awards, for me, is the knowledge, like I’ve said before, that there is “someone out there“. As one sits at the PC, it’s you, your keyboard, your monitor and your heart and soul. It can be lonely, if you look at it that way. You never know what is going to happen. One can only hope for the best.

The feedback that one receives is what makes the difference. It’s a confirmation that your goal has been attained.

Today I’m combining five awards. They will be listed here and are available for any fellow blogger who wants to pick them up. There are no rules and no nominees. These are here for the taking.

Consider yourselves the champions of this blogosphere in which we interact.

We are all connected through this web we weave!

~~The awards are the following~~

~~Nominated by Tazein~~

Semper Fidelis is Latin and means Always Loyal. Wolves have very strong ties with their pack. Like a family or a great group of friends.

This award stands for the loyalty and love between friends.

~~Nominated by Holley …. http://chasingdestino.com/~~

What is “The Dragon’s Loyalty Award” anyway?

Vintage Book Fairy’s blog provided the answer.

“The Dragon’s Loyalty Award is for the loyal fan/commenter, whether the recipient is a fellow blogger or just someone who follows and comments regularly.”

From Angie …. http://kyangel17.com/

“One version has a caption that says “For Blogging Excellence”. This one doesn’t. It’s actually for the angels in my life.  And that means all of you who read my posts. So everyone who reads this stop by and pick one up.  No strings, no rules. You are all my angels, and I can’t name you all.  So I will probably just stop in at every blog and let you know it’s here. And feel free to pass it on to all your friends and followers. You can never have enough angels in your life.”

From “Idealistic Rebel” …. http://idealisticrebel.wordpress.com/

It has German origins – the word “liebster” has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart, beloved person, darling, dear, darling. More definitions: beloved, liked very much; affectionate, loving favorite, preferred above others; liked or loved above others.

From “Moorbey” …. http://moorbey.wordpress.com/

“When you consider nominating a fellow blogger for the Versatile Blogger Award, consider the quality of the writing, the uniqueness of the subjects covered, the level of love displayed in the words on the virtual page. Or, of course, the quality of the photographs and the level of love displayed in the taking of them.

Honor those bloggers who bring something special to your life whether every day or only now and then.

And, have fun!”

Anyway, today I’m bending the rules for these awards.

Anyone who stops at this post, feel free to take them and display them proudly in your blog. If you are here, you are:

A dear, versatile, beloved loyal friend who is one of the angels in my life!! 

We ALL are connected through this web we WEAVE!! 

We ALL are ONE!!
