BBQ Sting Ray ...

A father upon hearing that his eldest son loves eating BBQ Sting Ray, decided to take the responsibility upon himself to buy fresh sting rays, marinate it and spent 40 minutes barbequeing it. Its the first time he's trying this new dish and he might not have perfected the taste but nevertheless, the time and effort in preparing the sting ray almost welled up his son's tears. A soft touch of a father's care.

Another father painstakingly takes the daily routine of washing fruits, taking into every detail of pesticide on the fruit and making sure its cleansed thoroughly before he processes them to its liquid form - juice. He makes sure everyone gets a cup full for each member in the family. Another soft touch of a father's care.

Yet another father, godfather to be exact often whips up simple yet delicious home cooked food, food that he learnt from his younger days from his mother. From Penang laksa to chicken rice, crabs to sambal squid, you name it and he is more than willing to prepare them. Again, another soft touch of a father's care.

I feel rather blessed to have three fathers, a biological father, a father-in-law to be and last but not least, a godfather. These father figures will soon be featured in KraMfriends* soon so don't miss reading about the fathers who play a rather important role in my life and how they have impacted my growth from a child to an adult I am now.

*for those who have not visited KraMfriends,its another of my blog that features the friends and family around me.
