Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” -Jim Valvano


Happy birthday, Daddy Low! ♥

I remember I used to think, when I was pretty young, why my daddy was years older than others' daddies, and at times, felt quite ashamed. I looked at others' daddies and went, "Wow they are so fit!" and looked at my daddy and said, "Hey you're so fat."

When I was three and Sherman was born, I was terribly mad with him (and Mummy) for the minimal amount of time we spent together because Sherman was in the ICU ward and I didn't understand how serious situations were. When I was five and burnt myself with the iron, Daddy Low was the one who applied the whatever-cream-it-was on my arm, and I was so angry with him for the pain. When I was eleven, I was rude to him and in return, got a cane scar below my left thigh and I really hated him for that scar (that is still there today).

Some years down the road, Daddy Low started cycling me to school. When I was of legal age of P4-5, he started sending me to school on the motorcycle. And having tonnes of tuition classes when I was young, Daddy Low sent me everywhere in spite of his busy schedule and all; most of the times on his old and worn-out motorcycle, unless it rains. So as time flies, I got used to his back view and it sort of gave me this very special protective feeling. I always love holding on to his baggy shirt and closing my eyes to rest and I know nothing would go wrong because that's Daddy Low in front of me. Till today, Daddy Low's still sending me everywhere. And Daddy's a really great and experienced motorcyclist; and his hair's almost gone in the middle because of the helmet.

Daddy Low's always been the strict discipline master at home, making sure that we really behave ourselves. But contradictory; he's also the man who always go against Mummy Low when we want to eat out.

I know this may be the thousandth and one time I'm saying this but: Daddy Low, I love you more than I ever put to words or expressed. Thank you for being the best daddy who always is there. ♥

Edit: Happy 16th wedding anniversary, Daddy and Mummy Low! I love you both, thank you for the past fifteen years and many more to come. ♥

郭美美 - 回家真好

想念属於纯真年代
快乐单纯如晴天
白云蓝天绿野阳光
看得见的美好

成人的世界好复杂
彷佛总走入阴天
乌云灰暗冷冷空气
好想加快步伐
往熟悉的方向回去

有一个家能够回去真好
家人的爱永远不减少
关切的慰问或安慰的拥抱
受伤后是最好的治疗

有一个家能够回去真好
家的温暖是不会熄灭的光芒
让我又重燃了希望

孩提时候奶奶哼的歌谣
每每失落时总不经意哼唱
彷佛回到童年时光

回家真好其他都不重要
