My dad turned 80 on Saturday, February 19th. We had a big family dinner for him at Dai Tung. 63 in attendance including Sam & Peter Kwauk from NYC, Greg & Elly Kwong & kids from Calgary, Auntie Mary from Calgary, and Cliff Tong from Los Altos CA. It was a great dinner and a great way to honour my dad. I read a funny joke by Brad Kwong. And Cliff spoke on behalf of Uncle Bill (who had to leave early). Dad seemed so happy and engaged in the moment.
The next morning, I asked him, "Dad, did you have fun last night?"
He replied, "YES!!!...What did I do?!!"
"We had your birthday dinner."
"OH??? Where did I go?"
Not sure if he was just playing with me or if he really didn't remember. But regardless of whether he remembered or not, he had a wonderful time that evening. And that's what life is all about...enjoying the moments, moment by moment.
About Me
- DD
- I was born & raised in Vancouver, BC but now live in suburban Kirkland, WA. I love adventure although I seem to be more cautious since having kids. Scuba diving, sky diving, two safaris in Africa, backpacking Europe, soul-searching in Israel, and the list goes on, have all been in my distant past. Now, my life is about family and raising my kids to love God, love people and serve the world. I have got one talented husband, one angel child, one spirited child, and a large, supportive extended family. Life is good.
