63
Growing up as the last girl of six kids, I was what most people would consider a daddy's girl but the story of my birth wasn’t the most ideal.
My mother had gotten pregnant six years after having her last child and everyone including my father wasn’t happy with it, they all complained until the moment I was birthed and then everything changed.
My father who wasn’t happy about the pregnancy was said to have fallen in love the moment he saw me and thus I became daddy's girl.
I think the memory of my father that stands out the most is him buying me rolls of milk because I was and still am a bit obsessed with licking them and most times when I get milk, I think of him.
I lost my father around 2018 and it was the hardest time of my life, he was sick and when it felt like everything was getting better, he was snatched away.
I still live in regret most days because I never ever got to tell him how much he meant to me, and even though people will say that he must have known, well I wanted him to hear it.
Losing my father taught me that life was fickle and every second matters so I try to show love in the highest capacity that I can because I wouldn’t ever want to live in regret again.
I guess this factor has ruled my life because my partner has tagged me with the title of “cheese” because I always try to overshow love to everyone I can which might mean getting hurt but it doesn’t matter.
This song is a tribute to my father because I miss him so much and even though I barely talk about him, he is always in my heart, my life, my day.
It is sometimes saddening that he wouldn’t get the opportunity to experience me and see how strong I have become, he wouldn’t get to walk me down the aisle to the man I love, he doesn’t get to see that he now has five grandchildren but I know he sees us from above.
“Hey dad, your girl has grown, she doesn’t cry as much as she used to and she doesn’t get irritated by everything.
She also speaks English just like you did and supports the club you do, even though they are really awful and she loves you, always.”
Well, I wouldn’t say this was my best performance but I hope you enjoy it.
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back
You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be
And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me
Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly, fly away
Turned around and you were there
The two of us made quite a pair
Daddy's little girl was here at last
Looked away and back again
Suddenly a year was ten
Don't know how it got so far so fast
And yes, dear, you don't understand
It's not anything we planned
Kind of makes you think it's meant to be (it's a destiny)
I always knew the day would come
You'd stop crawling, start to run
Beautiful as beautiful can be
Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly, fly away
Butterfly, fly away (butterfly, fly away)
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly, fly away (butterfly, fly away)
You've been waiting for this day
All along you've known just what to do
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly, fly away
Butterfly, fly away
I hope you find your way
And all the things you wish for
Love and care about
Butterfly, fly away
Oh, won't you fly away
Butterfly, fly away
Oh, won't you fly away
Butterfly, fly away

Lyrics by musixmatch
Al crecer como la última niña de seis hijos, yo era lo que la mayoría de la gente consideraría una niña de papá, pero la historia de mi nacimiento no fue la más ideal.
Mi madre se quedó embarazada seis años después de haber tenido su último hijo y todo el mundo, incluido mi padre, no estaba contento con ello, todos se quejaron hasta el momento en que nací y entonces todo cambió.
Se dice que mi padre, que no estaba contento con el embarazo, se enamoró en cuanto me vio y así me convertí en la niña de papá.
Creo que el recuerdo de mi padre que más destaca es el de él comprándome rollos de leche porque yo estaba y sigo estando un poco obsesionada con lamerlos y la mayoría de las veces que me dan leche, pienso en él.
Perdí a mi padre allá por el 2018 y fue el momento más duro de mi vida, estaba enfermo y cuando parecía que todo mejoraba, me lo arrebataron.
Todavía vivo arrepentida la mayoría de los días porque nunca jamás pude decirle lo mucho que significaba para mí, y aunque la gente dirá que él debía saberlo, pues yo quería que lo escuchara.
La pérdida de mi padre me enseñó que la vida es voluble y que cada segundo es importante, así que trato de mostrar amor en la mayor medida posible porque no quiero volver a vivir en el arrepentimiento.
Supongo que este factor ha gobernado mi vida porque mi pareja me ha etiquetado con el título de "queso" porque siempre intento demostrar el amor a todo el mundo que puedo, lo que puede significar salir herido, pero no importa.
Esta canción es un homenaje a mi padre porque lo extraño mucho y aunque apenas hablo de él, siempre está en mi corazón, en mi vida, en mi día.
A veces me entristece que no tenga la oportunidad de vivir mi experiencia y ver lo fuerte que me he convertido, que no pueda llevarme al altar con el hombre que amo, que no pueda ver que ahora tiene cinco nietos, pero sé que nos ve desde arriba.
"Oye papá, tu niña ha crecido, ya no llora tanto como antes y no se irrita por todo".
"También habla inglés como tú y apoya al club que tú apoyas, aunque sean realmente horribles y te quiere, siempre".
Bueno, no diría que esta fue mi mejor actuación, pero espero que la disfruten.
