You're leaving now? See you tomorrow

You've known me all my life. You played with me when I was young. You watched me grow up. You drive me around. You've seen the real me. You ask me about school, about my exams, my grades and these things matter to you. You urge me to be good, to study hard. You taught me right from wrong. You've lectured me. You make sure I have all that I need. You made up nicknames to call me. You fix things around the house. You put up with mom's ranting. You tease me about my painted nails. You looked after grandma when we were overseas. You keep my secrets. You listen, you don't judge when I talk to you. You supported me in a big way when I chose to study medicine. You care for us. You've celebrated every holiday with us. You love me like I'm your own.

Sometimes I wish you were my dad.
