Fatherly Love


Every morning, whilst passing through my normal route to work, I would come across an old Chinese man by the roadside corner on his old boon siew made, kapchai motorbike apparently waiting with his daughter for the bus to her workplace. I would think that he would then head home or to work after seeing her off on the bus.

This wet morning, I saw them again, waiting together at the same spot for the bus. For some this might be a usual common sight.... But to me, it shows a father's love.

He must love his daughter so much so that he wouldn't even allow her to wait alone by the roadside. I wouldn't blame him judging by the increasing trend of snatch theft and muggings against women. Sometimes it can make a difference between life, death or suffering...

Never take things for granted... Life is short in this world, make the best of it!

love them unconditionally so that we wouldn't regret anything after we've lost them forever...
