Because He likes it

A father gave his small kid a gift, a guitar so that his son can learn and play a song. It was months, even years, before his kid can actually play the instrument..

But then one day the kid who was only a few years old, played a song with the guitar for his father.. it may not be the best song he had ever heard, but it was certainly the best thing he had ever felt! How grateful was the father to see that what he gave to his kid years ago became something that his son was good at..

Little by little his son grew older and so did his skill.. Everyday his father would listen to the song as his feeling grows deeper and deeper in love with the way his son played the guitar.

Until one day the son started to get lazy and bored.. He was grown up and started to get busy with lots of things and he never played the guitar for his father anymore.. His father had hardly listen to his son playing's ever since..

His father missed it so much.. he picked up the guitar hoping he could play it himself so he can get a listen of what his son's guitar playing was like.. but he couldn't! He was just not that good in playing the instrument.. he listened to other people playing's, and even though it was good but it's just not the same with his son's.. the feeling was different.

As years went by.. the father can only kept the memories in his heart.. He could only hope that one day his son would pick a guitar up and play for him again.. but it never happened.. his son was too busy with work, friends, and never bothered with his father much anymore.

Until one day his father passed away.. the following day his son was packing his father's stuff in his father's drawers, until eventually he found a guitar case.. it looked a bit old. He remembered how he used to play the guitar for his father. So he opened it.. and he found a brand new guitar! It had got to be expensive, it's clean too. Every corner, string, and part of it seemed to have been cleaned all the time.. not a single dust could be found on the guitar. And there in the box he found a note lying.. he opened it carefully as he read what was written on it:

"Dear son, I bought this guitar for you. I have bought this since you were a teenager because I believed one day you would be a very good musician. Maybe not famous, but enough to keep me smilling.

The first moment you played me your first song, I had tears in my eyes. Maybe you didn't realize that because you were so young. But every notes you played, was a joy to my heart.

I was hoping you would play it again for me.. so I kept this guitar for you, believing that one day I can hear that song again, the song from your heart.

Love,

Dad"

The son cried so hard, he regretted all the things he had not done and there's nothing he can do to bring his father back to this world and play a song for him again. It's only in funeral, where he could play his guitar again.. it may not be the best song in the world, but he knows that it would the best for his father.
