The Last Lecture

"I'd always thought the father/daughter thing was overstated. But i can tell you, it's real. Sometimes, she looks at me and i become a puddle." - Randy Pausch

As i read the lines in the book by Dr Pausch, i remember a female friend asking me this very question in the nov. of 2007 when she was booking her tickets back to malaysia. "do all fathers love their daughters? if so why dont they show it anyway?" She was questioning her father's love for her. Well, i told her that most fathers do (from a guys perspective that is), perhaps he just doesnt know how to show it and i told her to try to pick out the little things that he does or had done for her..

i couldn't agree more when Dr Pausch went on and wrote:
"i want Chloe (his 18 month old daughter) to grow up knowing that i was the first man ever to fall in love with her..."

i guess most guys do when they set their eyes for the first time on their baby daughter.

Well, I hope that at the end of the day, she did find out the answer herself...
