Today is the 26th of May 2010,
and it's my dad's birthday :)
So I'm dedicating this post to my dad :)
About one hour ago,
I finished reading the book I had been reading for this past 2 weeks,
"the Last Song"
It tells a story about a young girl,
who hates her father because he left their family
and had not talk to him for 3 years.
On the third year, her mom forced her and her younger brother
to spend their summer with their dad.
The girl rebelled, but she had no choice but to follow her mother's will, reluctantly.
She made friends with "bad" teenagers there
and caught herself in trouble.
Her father, however, faced her rebellious acts patiently,
he trusted her, loved her more than life itself,
he was always there for her.
Slowly, the girl changed as she felt true love there,
she spent more time with her father each day.
When summer is about to come to an end,
she found out that her dad suffers from stomach cancer
and only has a few months to live.
She regretted that she had been very mean and unfair to her dad
she felt proud to gave a dad like him who was caring and loving,
who had Holy Spirit guiding him.
She decided not to go back to NY,
instead, she stayed there and took care of her dad
until he finally passed away.
I am very touched with this story, I cried in so many parts of the book.
I learned one lesson :
When there is still time,
show your love to your Dad and Mom
I reflected back to my own life,
maybe I had not been a good daughter for my parents,
but now I'm gonna try to change it
I want to make my dad and mom proud and happy
I truly love you, dad.
Happy Birthday
have a safe trip back from Guang Zhou,
I miss you and Mom,
See you soon
Lots of Love from your daughter
