Deon wanted to see Stephen - Jan 9, 10

Amy went to Panama Cruise and won't be back until the 16th. She forwarded her phone to my phone. I am getting all of her calls on my phone.

On Jan 6, your daddy called your mommy. I told him she was away. We chatted for a bit. He said he may take you out for a few hours this Sunday. He would call me to confirm.

Since Amy left, I've been having dinner with you on Saturdays nights. Before I went to pick you up that evening, I thought of asking you about your daddy. Although I know you didn't remember much of him. Unlike LD whom you have such a deep relationship with. LD no doubt plays a big father figure in your life....at least in the last couple of the years. You remembered all of the times spent together with LD. For your daddy, you didn't have much memories of.

During dinner, I asked You:

Pan: Deon, do you want to see your dad?

Deon: Yes

Pan: Do you miss him?

Deon: No

Pan: Do you miss Kai Dad?

Deon: Yes

Pan: Oh, then why do you want to see you dad if you don't miss him?

Deon: I don't know

Pan: Do you remember where are the places your dad took you before?

Deon: No (after he paused a couple of seconds)

Pan: Do you remember going to Crash Crawley's with daddy?

Deon: No, I had my birthday party there.

Pan: Do you remember going to daddy's house?

Deon: No

Pan: Do you remember going swimming with daddy?

Deon: (Deon thought of a few seconds then said) That rings a bell.

It is funny that a kid who rarely sees his father, knows anything about his father, but wants to see his father. I guess this is what the Chinese saying "blood is thicker than water" (血濃於水). I guess there is always a connection between parents and their children no matter how distant they are.

Deon, you have been getting the best that your mommy can provide and nurture you. Although your father didn't play an important role in your life, I am sure you sure you will thank your father (not just your mother) for bring you to this world.
