I have to say I was a Papa's girl but I did not take advantage on the kindness. My father is an intelligent man who was extremely kind that he does not even notice that he was being taken advantage of by other people.
To wrap up, here is a list of the three (3) best things I love about him:
1. He was intelligent. It was from my father that I took the love for words. He was a college undergraduate from an architecture course but nevertheless, he was very good at his craft. When he was younger and stronger, his clients always tell about his craftsmanship in making their houses look good. He never failed to share his words of wisdom when I was little. The one that I do not forget and I use when given the opportunity are the words, "Empty cans make much noise."
2. He was a loving husband and father. My father has his weaknesses but he was a loving man. I remember that he used to cook our food when he gets home from work. When he has lots of money, he cooks a lot and we devour them all in one sitting. 
He was a loving man that he cannot afford to shoo away relatives who stay at our house for a week or more when the news came around that he has money.
3. He was a funny man. I remember the nights where he used to tell funny stories and we all would laugh at them unceasingly before we go to sleep. Maybe this is one character I inherited from him. I make people laugh.
When he died, I lost a part of me which eventually I realized that it stayed. I have my regrets but I know that when he will still be alive, he will tell me to move on and be happy.
My father would be proud that I was able to raise good and intelligent children.

I was only lucky enough to share the first fourteen years of my life with my father, but that doesn't mean that there weren't things about him that I loved. These are the three things that were my favorite things about my dad.
1) He loved to spend time with his family. He did work hard as an assistant hospital administrator for the Bureau of Prisons, but when he wasn't at work, his life was dedicated to us.
2) He showed me that all of our dreams were possible to achieve. This was in his aspiring to be in the medical field and he worked his way from a PA to an assistant (acting as full) hospital administrator at the time that he passed away.
3) My dad showed me how to love. My parents had a great marriage and it was clear to me, even at a young age that my parents loved each other deeply. This is the same way that I am today with my husband.

What a wonderful tribute to your father, bingskee!
Your father sounds like he was a wonderful man, and you enjoyed a blessed relationship with him, and he with you.
The three best things I loved about my father were his Generosity. He was the most generous person I've ever known. He literally gave people the shirt off his back, friends and strangers alike. He was intensely loyal to his family and friends and to his God. He was intelligent and never stopped his search for knowledge. He imparted these gifts to me, his son, and I equate much of this with love. He loved, and he was beloved.
I miss my Dad immensely. I know that you miss your Father as well.
Peace.

1. Friendly - He has always been a friend to anyone, rich or poor, especially to me.
2. Kind and down-to-earth - He has always an open hand to those who needs help. I never heard him utter bad things against others.
3. Loving and fun - He loves his family more than anything else, and i have never seen him frown all my life.

Those are good characteristics or qualities for a father. I am happy that you had such a wonderful father. It may be that his traits was acquired from your father's father or your father's father who fathered your father. If I may describe my father in three qualities, I can say that my father is a loving father. Since I became aware of things around me, I never remember one moment where he punished me physically. He loved my mother dearly, too. Second, he was a responsible father. Third, he is a hard-working man. Happy father's day to your father.

There are a lot of things that I like about my father. But there some things that are very evident in him. One quality of my father that I really like is his devotion in praying, he will always ask us to pray the rosary every evening and encourage us to go to church at least once a week. He is also generous to some extent that he do not have any for himself. Lastly is his optimistic way of thinking, he always looks into the positive of certain situations and people.
