This picture was taken almost exactly a year ago, on the night of my cousin’s graduation celebration at Macaroni Grill. I got to sit between my parents; I didn’t realize that it would be the last time for that. Bro sat with all the boy cousins.
For Father’s Day last year, we took my Dad to a Chinese buffet place, the kind where they serve about 100 different kinds of food and you eat until you think you’re going to pop. This was Dad’s favorite kind of place to eat, mostly because there was a huge variety of foods he could choose from. The place we went also gave out Father’s Day gifts. Since Bro and I were treating, we went to pick up the gift for Dad. It was an “I love you” mug with a little stuffed bear inside, which I gave to Dad. It’s still sitting by the front door where he left it when we got home.
I can’t believe Father’s Day 2006 was the last time we were together as a family.
I love you and miss you so much, Dad.
I remember reading your posts during that sad time for you. My father, who passed away two years ago, also loved Chinese buffets. I’m hoping there is an amazing buffet wherever they are.
I just want you to know I’m thinking of you. *Hugs*
Next time I go to a Chinese buffet, I’m dedicating my first plateful to your Dad. I lurves me the big Chinese buffets too.
My Dad and your Dad shared a love of Chinese buffets. You both look so happy in that picture. Uncle Yensan is definitely missed.
Aw, that is such a wonderful picture of you two–so sweet and happy. You have lots of great memories of your dad, and that’s a precious thing
It seems like you two shared a special relationship, as many people don’t have the same relationship with their fathers as you did. You are blessed. Anyways, I think your blog is pretty awesome. I’d be glad to offer you one of my awesome, super soft Geekfitters.com shirts in exchange for a link.
