In the 1950s my DAD was quite the early Techie-Geek; always the latest camera, filling albums with family and relatives' memories plus recording his grandson's first words on his reel-to-reel tape recorder, or getting HIS dad and mum to sing and tell a war time story. Now, some 65 years later, his hobby has become an amazing treasure for my own grandchildren. Thanks, Dad
Just think what he could have done with my Z4-EEA tablet !

I am 66 years old and although my father already left I have him alive in me always and especially for everything he taught me and gave. One of them forged my future. We lived in a street where all the film distributors were (in those days 35 mm) and as a child I loved taking out of the waste bins the hundreds of meters of 35 mm film that those who reviewed the film reels to take home and see and dream that I had my movie theater. It was so that my father realized my vocation for the cinema and on Sundays we sat in front of the scrolls that they gave me because they were in poor condition to project and he looked in the frames that famous artists had and taught me to put together slides and then project those frames on the wall. That was a dream. My father encouraged me the cinema and from that day on I dreamed of having my own projection room in my house ... which I could never fulfill. Today at the age of 66 I do not physically have my father but he is present with Vankyo. It's just that less than a year ago I bought my first projector and now I have my living room at home. Room is called "Rodolfo" the name of my dad. And there everything is Vanky
o. Thank you for letting me fulfill my dream dear dad.
I was 10 years old, I was in a swimming race from school. My mum couldn't come to watch, as my brother was too young and mom cudnt leave him alone and my dad was at work. Although I was a very good swimmer, I didn't really care about the race since my parents would not be there. But half way through the race I heard my dad’s voice yelling out: “Go girl, I am here.” and trust me that voice was all I needed to hear though I didn't win first I came second but that moment will always be cherished.
Dear Dad,
You held my hand and taught me how to walk, you could always understand me even when I couldn’t talk. You gave me strength and told me I could fly, even when the world pushed me down and told me it was all a lie. You showed me how to love even in your lowest days, taught me that sometimes not everything in life will go your way. You spoil me and scold me both in the same breath and for being MY Father I will always be in your debt. You’re the reason I stand tall today and for that I thank you, I am glad to have you in my life Dear Dad, I hope that everyday I can remind you. #vankyofather’sday #vankyo #fatherdaygift #fatherday2020 #fatherdayspecial #fatherday❤️ #DadsAreAwesome #dadlovesyou #old_man #vankyo #happyfathersday #family #love.
My best memory with my dad is after finishing my 12th class my daadi (his mother) asked my father to get me married because the place where are live is a small town and usually girls get married at my place once they are 18 years old or early . But to my surprise my father told her that he will only get me married once i have finished my higher studies and settled in my life. Then after my daadi went away he told me though I have studied only till 10 th class but I will make sure you get your higher education and settled in your life . I very well know the importance of education. I was the first girl child in my entire house to study in an English medium school and go out of my home town for college. And that was the best moment and best memory I have with my father. He made me an independent women.
My family is not a wealthy family.My father had only studied till 12th class. He use to work since he was in 5th class. So after 12 he left his studies and started working. My dad saved every single penny he earned from work to buy anything that I needed. And he made sure that I and my brother's get the best education . Whatever he has achieved today is only because of his hard work.
He is the one who taught me that If we believe on ourselves than no one can stop us from achieving what we want .That's the one of the most important thing I learned from my father and got inspired.
He taught me to be kind to everyone and to never give up.These simple but important lessons have shaped my life in its entirety. My dad is the kindest man that I have ever met.
Patience, sacrifice, undomitable, diligence, compassion is what goes into the making of fathers- The Real Super heroes.
Ofcourse, my papa is a personification of the perfect blend of all these qualities. But what makes him the most special part of my life is his childlike faith on God's will; his innocence that sometimes he gives a second place even to his self respect when it comes to relationships. He is so modest by heart that he simply acclaims "koi baat nahi" even in the worst of situations.
He is a man of flesh and blood and has, thus changed; evolved and carved the best of his own form.
He always calls me his son, has showered his utmost love even when our grandmother once said, "Throw these girls on railway tracks. How will you bring up two daughters..!!"
Today, I always see his eyes full of proud for us- the two sisters.
He fights with us like a sibling... Perhaps younger one, complains about mommy to us, argue with us endlessly!
Today when we both are married, and settled into our lives, he is like more than satisfied in this bliss only.
While writing this, I simply can't put in words the way he tries to hide his tears. I, many a times wish to just snap and atleast hug papa when he asks on phone, "Bahut din ho gye, ghar kab aaogi" and calls his friends when I am home with him and tells him out of sheer joy, " Aaj ghar ghar lag raha hai."
Its been 5 yrs now since I got married, but even now when it is the time when I have to return with my husband, he sits all day, with his head down, very upset and sad. And my eyes get welled up when I picture him standing on the platform, waving me goodbye and trying to hide his tears behind his smile ! But his eyes betray him overtly.
There is no way to tell how much I love him, but yes We put it in three simple words- I Love You Papa. ❤️❤️
You impress me everyday with your endurance and ability to fix anything. A very impressive moment was when you left me alone at the house once and I had a GREAT party when I was a crazy teen. Before you came home I cleaned and scrubbed (and cleaned and cleaned) that house. The moment you walked inside you sat on the couch, reached down beside you, and picked up a bottle cap asking "how was the party?". It was incredible and impossible. That day you impressed me! How did you find it?! How are you so calm?! I am not in trouble?! Why did I clean so much?! ?
? I have always admired your ability to roll with the punches through anything life has thrown at you, and that is quite the list. I can't express how much love and support I have always felt from you, and I hope you can feel how much I truly love you dad.?
A girl's first true love is always her father, behind every special girl there's a truly amazing dad! Dads are always ready to protect us from anything — whether it’s the bullies at school or the monsters under our beds. ?
There are too many memorable moments but one that really stands apart is when I was just 2 and he couldn't make it for my birthday. Now I was too little to understand but daughters know when their dads aren't around. My mom tells me I was grumpy and not my usual cheery self, it was like I knew my father wasn't present. He was busy with an important presentation, that was a turning point for his career but it all took a phone call from my mom to leave everything and be with me. I don't remember that birthday discreetly, but I know it would have been the best one! ?
My dad is my biggest silent supporter, he's my inspiration to wake up everyday and make a difference.
He was also the one who rocked me to sleep when I was little, he's still the one who cannot get a good sleep when I've fever.
He has given me the greatest gift of all my life, he has believed in me. He stands behind my every decision and frankly I can never ask for anything more!
The most loving moment with my Dad that I want to share is from my childhood...when I was in 5th standard.
But that comes from a background story which I don't remember myself, but my family tells me, that when I was in UKG, seeing the girl who stood 1st in the class receiving prize from the principal...I was jealous by looking at her receiving a nicely packed prize ? and started doing stubborn things there and insisting that I wanted prize too? (cause every child gets happy by looking at a packed?) And after that school function, when we came home, I asked my father "papa papa main kabhi first kyu nhi aati" (which I'm tired of hearing now because my family teases me a lot with this dialogue?)
So, in 5th class, when the final PTM was there and my Name was written on the blackboard along with "First Position", I was really happy... But someone who was even more happier than me was my father. He said he remember what I said to him in UKG..and now that I had achieved it finally, he had tears in his eyes. He kept his hand on my head and said "Bohot acche beta". And that was everything for me❤️
After that, he rushed to the sweets shop by his bike while I was in school only waiting for him with my mother and my elder siblings who were studying in the same school. He brought Kaju Katli and distributed them to everyone in the school from teachers to the workers and sweepers?
He was really proud of me!!!
That was really the Best! ❤️ Really, what can be better for a daughter than making her father feel proud of her. And that motivates me to do more such things so that he can be happy, he can proudly say to everyone 'Meri Beti hai aakhir' ?
And from then till now, I've always worked so hard wheather it's in sports or in studies and in music too, so that he can be happy and in turn...I also have a reason to love myself more!!!
I just want to say 'I Love You Papa. You're the most wonderful person of my life. The way you inspire me is beyond words. I don't know if I'll ever be able to become like you or not... but I'll be more than happy if I could become even 10% of you.' ☺️
The most impressive moment I've had with my dad is when I had to write my learners permit. I had forgotten to bring my glasses for the eye test . Unfortunately the employee there said I could not write my test unless I had my glasses in order to pass the eye test portion of the test. I went back from the beginning of the line to the end and had to wait again while my dad had to drive back all the way home and bring my glasses back.By the time my dad came back I had about 30 minute to write the test before the test center closed. From the morning at 11 am to till the afternoon 5pm my dad had waited patiently while i waited in line, from driving back home , and to finally finished my test to which I successfully passed . I know it may not seem like it is such a big deal but for me I felt emotionally touched as my father had taken a day off for his work to watch me reach one of the biggest milestones in my life . Being a car fanatic, ever since my sisters and I were little he has always been waiting for the day we all receive our drivers license, so that he can see us drive his car and have long road trip taking turns driving.The thing I most wanted to say to my dad is despite him wanting a son however ironically ending up with three daughters . He has not limited or underestimated our capabilities nor has pressed gender stereotypes unto us . Instead my father has made us want us to aim higher because the sky was the limit for us and made sure we work hard for what we want because it always pays off. I find that saying thank you is not enough for how much he has worked hard and sacrificed for his family. 24 years ago you came to a new country with nothing to your name and now you have achieved so much , you make me proud to call you DAD ! I will always make you proud and use your life as a testament to guide mines. I am grateful to be your daughter.
