Happy Father's Day - Confessions
Hey guys! :D This is my first time posting a real blog post instead of just games and questions like what I've been posting lately. Anyways, let's just go straight to the main topic here. :) Okay, I just want to wish every father out there a Happy Father's Day, including my dad and my grandpa! I know I'm a bit late but.. better late than never, right? ^^ So, actually, I haven't wished my dad a Happy Father's Day face to face and I am not planning to because I feel really awkward and I'm not good with words when it comes to face to face.. :| So, I'm just going to do all of this here. :)
Right now, I want to share something with you all. A few days ago, I was watching Immortal Songs 2 Family Special on tv and the singers were like coming to the show with either their mother, their father or their husband except for certain people who came alone. And there was this one particular performance which left a very, very, very deep impression on me and left me crying so hard. ;-; 3
The song performed was Family Portrait (a self-composed song by Kim Jin Ho – an SG Wannabe member). And Jin Ho, himself performed it alone on the show after being quiet for so long in the k-pop industry.
This song revolves around his true story. It shows his genuine feelings towards mostly his father who has passed away when he was a kid, but also, his feelings towards his mother. During the show, he said that he was inspired to compose the song while looking at his family picture and that he only looks at it when he feels sad or when things got bad, he never looks at it when he's happy.
In my opinion, it is by far the most heartrending, touching performance ever performed in Immortal Songs 2. And I agree to Gummy's mom saying that this performance/song isn't something that should be judged by anyone at all. I was sad that this performance didn't win until the end; it only received wins for two rounds. But anyhow, I'm still satisfied with the performance.
You guys should check it out. Here's the performance that I was talking about:-
To be honest, after watching it, I can’t imagine the pain they – the people who doesn’t have a father, or has lost their father – are feeling every time Father’s Day comes around; the pain of not having a father to wish to. I think they must have been feeling like they’d taken their father for granted, and regretted the things they’d done in the past, or maybe, even wishing they should have been better. I – a daughter who still has a father – do not exactly know how painful it would be for them.
But I had lost my grandfather a year ago during mid-May. And grandfathers are also like a father. So, at least, I’m almost there in knowing how it must have felt like. What I can say is that it does felt like the whole world is weighing down on you the moment you found out he was no longer there. Like the world doesn’t want you to be happy. To tell you the truth, when I first found out, I didn't cry but instead, I stayed quiet until I saw my late grandpa lying lifeless on the hospital bed did I cry for the rest of the day. And it does feel lonely every time I go to my late grandpa's house for occasions.
In all honesty, it also made me think that I've been not quite a good daughter to my father all these while. I feel like I should treat my father better next time, like I'm not worthy enough. It's really burdensome for me to feel insecure like this. But I think I'm not the only one who feels this way after watching the performance. I bet there are also people out there who feels the same way.
This performance really gets to the heart and teaches you a lesson and just like how I did, I think it made other people realize to not take your parents and your beloved ones for granted and that we should always make them happy and smile, because maybe, one day, they might go far ahead before you do.
I know this is one long of a blog post so, I'm just going to end it here. I hope you guys would realize things after watching the performace. And thank you for sparing some of your time to read this achingly long blog post. But I'm telling you it would be worth reading. :)
