One day I will write you a song like this singer.



Loving you eternally,
Dad

Mommy is in Japan.
Joshua is in school camp.

I asked if you miss both of them.
You told me, "I don't miss 'kor kor' Joshua. I miss mommy."

When you love someone, it is natural to miss the person you love. We may be texting each other, Skyping or do MSN chat, but nothing beats being with the one you love.

Do I miss God? Yes. I may be talking to Him everyday. I still miss Him because I can't be with God in heaven. I can only make long distance call to Him. But I am looking forward to see Him. Just like you are looking forward to see mommy.

You were looking for me

-- Living Bible
Hosea 11:3 I trained him from infancy, I taught him to walk, I held him in my arms...I myself have stooped and fed him.

It's almost a ritual. Most of the time when daddy and mommy are awake, you are still soundly asleep. As we go about preparing ourselves to work, inevitably, you will stagger your way around as if you were drunk, and throw yourself at one of us. It does not matter whether it's me or mommy. We will then pick you up and you will rest your head on our shoulder and continue your sleep. Sometimes I am not sure if you were dreaming, half-awake, or you are simply pretending to be asleep. I will then carry you in my arms and pray for you that you will be tall like me, that you will grow up to be like Jesus, that you will be healthy, etc...

I guess it's the same scene everyday when we wake up early in the morning, and stagger ourselves into God's arm. This is my daily routine. Though I may be dreamy and can barely open my eyes, I throw myself into God's arm and mumble my prayer.

Phileo, continue this routine even when you have grown. You may not want to come to me anymore when you are a young man. Or maybe you just want to sleep late. That's fine. You can still go to God the moment you are awake. Let it be the first thing you do everyday. He is always there waiting for you.

Drummer boy

Probably the best drummer boy around. Epic.

Cute little feet

Here's your cute little feet when you are 2+

Let your light shine

I like this song. You may be small (young), but you have a big God. Let your light shine for God

I need Daddy

I am amazed with you, yet again. You can clearly distinguish the diff between 'I need' and 'I want'.

For instance, when you want to take a kiddy ride, he will look at us, stretch out your hand and say, 'I need money'. This is obviously a need, not a want for you.

When we study economics, we are often told, a 'need' is different from a 'want'. We can do without a 'want', but a 'need' is a neccesity. It is not dispensable. For you, taking a kiddy ride is a need, not a want. This is probably true for all kids.

When we are at work, there are times that you will ask for us. He will ask, 'Where mommy? Where's mommy?'. About a week ago you said something that left me speechless for hours. This came after I spent much time with you over the weekend. This is what you said,

'I need daddy'

It made me feel good but I didn't know why. As I gave more thought to it, I realise I am no longer a want in your life. I have become so close to you that I became a need in your life. A necessity. Indispensable. Essential. Imperative. I am not a peripheral figure in your. I am not like redundant worker in a company. A fringe actor. A football player surplus to requirement and has to be sold.

'I need daddy'. What a lovely thing you have said

I pray that one day you will say the same to God
