I love this. In a few lines you have given a feeling of plenty - especially in the 2nd and 3rd lines which work so well together - and also good wishes. Enjoy your festivities.

I'm not sure which country you're in but am guessing Malaysia. This is a really interesting read - past and present meeting up - and in a few lines you give a really stong impression of your father. Thinking of you all.

Very wise - memories are so strong though. I had a friend who said to me once that the past plays tricks on you, makes you think it's still ahead of you, waiting to happen. I liked all the chaos and then the stillness at the end. And I had to...
