Dad, we love u! Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Ok. Another letter for my dad this time. For the main benefit of my sister.

Dear Dad,
Good morning. Happy Fathers' Day!
We know that this particular day has not always been given much emphasis in this house. Probably because of the fact that you live in a house where majority is the opposite gender. Nevertheless, Michelle and I would like you to know that we have always appreciated everything that you did for us. We appreciate the love that you have shown us, the support that you have always given us and the care that is always given in abundance. You have always put your family first no matter the circumstance. We know that your main priority is the family. How do we know? From the concern you have shown for us, from the interest you showed in our progress to be useful beings on this Earth to the sacrifices you have made for us. That is how we know.
Dad, we want you to know that everything that you have ever did for us have never gone unnoticed. The enormous support that you have showed in our decisions, the advice that is always ready even though we are not in need of it down to the odd philosophies that you keep reminding us of. We know that there have been times when we angered you because of our stubbornness or dissappointed you because we did not reach your expectations. For all our mistakes and all the pains that we have put you through Dad, we are sorry. From the bottom of our hearts, Dad, we are sorry.
To be honest, we have thought long and hard about how to write this letter. We kept trying to figure out the best way to express our feelings. It took us a while but realisation soon dawned upon us that there is no way that we can do that. Because mere words cannot describe you, Dad. Mere words cannot describe everything that you did for us. Mere words cannot express the gratitude as well as the sorry that we feel.
But the most important thing, Dad, that we would like you to know, is that we love you and we are proud to be able to call you Our Dad. So, Happy Fathers' Day, Dad!
Thank you.
We love you.



Your lovingly,
Melissa Mok

Its always the little things Sunday, June 01, 2008

Hey...

Here's a little something I wrote for my mom for Mothers' Day. Yes, I know, long overdue (it's almost Fathers' Day) but nevertheless....this is mainly for the benefit of my sister...sorry Michelle = )


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Mom,
      Good morning. Happy Mothers' Day!
      According to the dictionary, the definition of the word 'mother' is someone who gave birth to you. However, we think that it is more than just that. That is just an understatement. 
      Michelle and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything that you did for us. As cliche as it may sound, yes, we are grateful for everything that you did for us, even down to the smallest most unimportant thing such as reminding us to do something. Because if you had not been around for us, then... well, we wouldn't even be around, would we? The thing is that we have not exactly shown our appreciation to you. I suppose it's because we have already taken things for granted. So, in hopes of not seeming like ungrateful children, we would like to thank you Mom for everything no matter how trivial or how enormous a matter. Thank you for bringing us into this world, thank you for providing for us, thank you for teaching us, thank you even for lecturing us for we know, deep down inside our hearts, despite the fact that we retaliate and complain, we know that you love us and want what's best for us. 
      Imperfect as we are as humans, we know we are stubborn and have angered you countless of times and so mom, we are sincerely sorry. We know we have caused you pain more than often and though we may not really understand that pain until we ourselves experience motherhood, we are sorry. Truly, deeply and sincerely. It is probably sometimes so frustrating that you probably just wish to give up and you could if you ever wanted to. You could have just gave up on us. But the plain truth remains that you didn't. You never did. 
      Instead, you have tolerated us, cared for us and loved us. And for that Mom, we are eternally indebted to you. We are forever grateful and sincerely sorry for the pains that we've put you through and probably will put you through. Because though we know it is not right but often, anger gets the better of us and we end up doing things and saying things without thinking. 
      But in this matter Mom, we have put a lot of thought, a lot of our true feelings and most importantly, our love. We wish we could go on but words simply cannot express what we truly feel. So Mom, Happy Mothers' Day!
      We Love You. 
      Thank You. 

                                    Yours lovingly,
Melissa Mok 
and 
Michelle Mok
