Dear Dad

My dear Dad

How r u those days?

I can’t remember when I sent my last letter to you. But I have had an idea to write a letter to you since few days ago.

Actually I have nothing special to tell you. I just knew that you don’t feel good recently. Too many things are bothering you, especially about my younger brother. Hmm…he has been really different from the person I knew before. About his opinion and future, I just can say that he is young. He was our little boy, and we protected he too much. Now he grew up, and he has his own opinion although we don’t agree with him. He needs to learn experiences from many failures from now. Then he will know how precious the family is. How short and difficult the life is. It takes time, a long time.

Then, I don’t know how ur feeling is about retiring. It is very embarrassing to say it but I still want to tell you “ it’s ur life, enjoy ur life from now. Maybe I can’t earn enough money for you. Well, you are doing hard in these 58 years; it’s enough. I should say thank you to you. You gave me lots of chances to get lots experiences. I’m not a really good girl I know. I spent extra money more than my younger bother. You gave us too much but you haven’t got the life style that you really want to have. You always adjust yourself to mom, brother and me. Well, ur lazy girl is gonna bother you for sure. On the other hand, I hope you will feel happy from the age of 60 years old.”

Finally, I have no idea why I wrote the letter in English to you. I know it’s really weird for you, even to me. Since I came back from Vancouver, I explain my emotion in English more than in Mandarin. Also, when I write sth in my deep mind in English, it makes me feel comfortable and calm. I will keep this habbit as long as I can. Of course, I had never thought that I would use English as good as now before I went to Canada. Thanks again, for all the memory from Canada, and English is my treasure.
