This document uses a metaphor of a family as a tree to express gratitude towards a father. It describes the father as the roots who planted the seeds (children) and provided nutrients and stability for the family to grow over time. Through photos at different stages, it shows the children first as seeds and then as seedlings who grew taller together with the father as the roots supporting the family tree through guidance, teaching, and unconditional love over many years.

1. 
This is for you so sit
back, relax and enjoy!

2. In my perspective, a family is like a

3. In a family, there will always be a
father, mother and kid(s)
This one is like our family!

4. As a father, you are like the
“roots” of the “tree”. You are the
provider like how the “roots”
transports the necessities to the
other parts of the “tree”…

5. The roots of the tree are very important
because without them, the tree will die 
The same goes for a family.
Without the “roots” of the
family, how will the “tree” have
nice “green leaves”? It will
probably wilt and die after
struggling a lot…

6. You were like the one who planted
the “seeds” and became the
“roots”.
You taught us from right and
wrong, you guided us despite the
“harsh weathers” and even shared
your “nutrients” with us… 

7. And when I was a “seed”.. I
looked like this…
By the way, nice glasses :P

8. And then you “watered” us… We
were growing slowly, bit by bit…

9. And you just kept pouring
“water” whenever we needed
it..
Look! The “seeds” are growing!

10. And those “seeds” just kept
growing and growing…

11. As long as the “roots” were around to
“support” and to teach..

12. We travelled far together…
And even experienced new things together..

13. Okay, maybe there
were times when you
didn’t travel with us but
that didn’t stop us from
growing each day!

14. The “plant” is growing taller and taller!

:D
“Roots”!

16. More photos..

17. Look, we even made new “friends”
together 

18. Time kept flying by and we grew
together as a family…

19. That’s us again! Big difference
from earlier on right? 
Before After

21. Kuya and I, a few years back..
Kuya’s confirmation day @ CTK

22. We shared our achievements
together…

23. Celebrated occasions together…

24. Okay here’s a funny picture for
you :P

25. We also
learned how
to be
independent
and to
overcome
several
fears with
or without
each other..
That’s me trying out the zipline!

26. And here’s an
update of your
other grown up
“seed”… 

27. That’s the two of you together!

28. After reading the captions and looking
back at the pictures from before, don’t you
realize how far we’ve come? And it was
only possible because there was someone
to “water” those “seeds”, someone to rely
on for “foundation”, someone to share their
“nutrients” and for someone to just be there
for those “seeds” so that they will not lose
their way. And I’m sure you know who’s that
special someone…

30. Look at all of us now 

31. I hope you liked the power point
slides I made for you! This is the
end of the slides and….
