How I Met Your Mother has always been one of our most favorite series. We have religiously followed this series since episode 1. Although it didn’t have a very strong start with its 1st season, it either started growing on us or the episodes really got better. It’s the new Friends for me. Gil and I can so relate to Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and both actors are natural comedians. I llllooovvveee them soooo much!
In their New Year episode for 2012 entitled Tailgate, they focused pretty much on the father story. Marshall spent his new year by the grave of his dead father while watching the games of the Vikings. This reminded me of dad. No, we didn’t go to Tailgates, but everything and anything about dad pretty much reminds me of daddy. There are so many times during the Holidays when I wished that I could just see him again, talk to him and hug him. I miss him so much it hurts. Lily is pregnant and when she told her dad about it, she just got an “OK. Thanks! Bye!” She felt so bad and felt that her dad let her down. The following day, her dad showed up at their door step with a huge teddy bear congratulating her. It turned out that her dad was so excited, didn’t have time to make chitchat over the phone and drove all the way to their new house just to congratulate her. It made me cry (not teary-eyed but cry as in cry like hagulgol cry) which of course upset my dear husband (as always when he sees my crying). I just miss my dad so much. And as always, I relate myself to Lily and thought “what if I became pregnant, I don’t have a dad to share it to.” Daddy died to soon. *cries*
Then I said to myself, well, I still have my mom, my sisters, my friends and my husband to share it with if ever that will happen. I will not allow myself to wallow in loneliness. I will miss him still but life will go on. Come to think of it, daddy is more “approachable” now. I can talk to him anytime and everytime I want. He is now my guardian angel. 
I miss you so much daddy.
