Dear Son,
Throughout my growing up and growing old years, Daddy
has a penchant for writing. Although Daddy has never been a brilliant author
who can boast the ability to illustrate all things and situations clearly, I do
attempt my best to pen down my thoughts. However keeping up consistently in a
diary is a challenge for me. There was many a time whereby inspirations and
well-thought-out ideas get shelved and eventually forgotten due to Daddy’s
procrastination for some reason or another, which I struggle to fathom myself.
Your impending arrival into Daddy and Mommy’s lives
will be akin to a Singapore
Daddy hope that your presence in our lives can be a
catalyst that drives us (at least for myself) to have the motivation to start
writing, and keep on doing it for the sake of preserving some of the knowledge,
wisdom, humor and other intriguing stuff that are constantly occurring while
you grow old enough to be able to understand the contents of this article, for
which I specially dedicate to you and your future siblings.
Daddy have no idea how you will handle or accept
my/our way of teaching you in years to come, but I hope in the very least,
while you avoid our kind intentions to guide/nag/scold (delete whichever
applicable), you may still find some form of peace and assurances from the
articles here, slowly pieced up from 2013. As time goes by, the number of
articles will increase and Daddy will likely categorize the articles in which
you may find whatever you want in double quick time.
Many of the articles Daddy will write may not always
be politically correct. It means to say that while most people will agree fully
on something, Daddy may be inclined to agree with them but analyzing from
another set of reasons and perspective, Daddy may not be on their side
wholeheartedly. My guess is that this will happen pretty frequently. Mommy will
probably protest on a few things but a man like me wouldn’t be bothered too
much unless it is proven that Daddy’s perspective is clearly skewed ha!
For some unknown reason, Daddy felt relieved that I
finally lifted my fingers to begin this lifelong assignment for you. Business
has been a tad slow recently and Daddy certainly has more time than I would
like it to be. So apart from working out in the gym and waiting for Mommy to
get released from school/nursery/prison, I thought let’s just get into gear
right now, instead of the grand plan of starting this on Daddy’s birthday on
the 27th.
I hope and pray that you will grow up to be a fine
young man under Daddy and Mommy’s care and tutelage. We both too, hope and pray
that we can fulfill our parental duties and that you can be proud of us, just
like how we will be proud of your achievements in future, however small it may
be.
Other than the baby items that you receive from us
upon your birth (seriously Gabby, do consider 31 Dec 2013 or 1 Jan 2014 ),
this is Daddy’s most sincere present to you. I hope you will find peace, love
and wisdom with us.
Love, Daddy Ben
