Thank You For Everything...

49 years ago on this day, I came into this world just a day earlier to my Dad's 26th birthday.
Fast forward..
On this day, 21 years ago, I was jolted up from my sleep by my pregnant wife. " The waterbag has just gave way", she exclaimed. And there I was weaving through the early morning traffic barely 20 minutes after being jolted up from my sleep. I managed to get her there in nick of time. After she was been wheelchaired up to the delivery room, I parked my car and rushed up just in time to welcome the arrival of my second and youngest girl.
She arrived as a birthday gift to me. What more could I have ask for? A Gift of Life for my birthday present.. I guess Dad must have felt the same way back then.
Well, my little girl has just turned 21 today. Happy 21st Birthday, Samantha, with Lots and Lots of Love. Dad would have be 76 tomorrow but he left us slightly more than 6 months ago.. As for me, it is just another day like any day of the year despite hitting that 49th milestone. There wont be celebration of any sort. I believe Samantha felt the same from her facial expression this morning.
Nevertheless, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all my friends and love ones for their special wishes especially to those who touches my heart one way or another.
Thank you.
Wishing All of You A Blessed Christmas and A Happy New Year.
