I've just finished a 15-minute lunch, literally. It was fast food from KFC, a fairly healthy one I would say (but for the mustard and mayo..). They took less than 5 to meet my order & I took about 10 minutes to gobble everything up. That's lunch on the go for me. I'm the type of person who feels guilty to use a lot of time deliberating what to eat and to spend time chatting over lunch. My workmates are either going to or coming from class & it's much easier to lunch solo.. so I eat what I want and WHEN. I have irregular eating hours so I go when I feel like it (between 12 & 2 that is, and sometimes after 3 if I have classes that goes on during lunch hour).
Yesterday night I actually sat down and took an effort to recall my life experiences with Dad.. although I spent only 17 years with him before his untimely death in 1991 (with the first 5 years being pretty vague).. I happen to remember quite a bit. I'll continue with the recollections tonite. And the next time I meet Mum I'll make it a point to ask her all the burning questions. Why do I do it? It's mainly a self quest since I somehow missed Dad to this day, and due to my curiosity: how he had lived his life in childhood and as a youth?
As an adult, whenever I recall the things that he did I was somehow able to rationalise his actions in relation to his position as the head of the family, and mainly as a parent. And this book, when completed is hoped to be a companion for my brothers who never had the chance to grow up in his presence.. and for my own kids, who never got to knew Granddad. It's pretty weird sometimes that I have this will (a want, perhaps) to have him around.. not that I have the knowledge in witchcraft to bring back the dead, nor that I even wanted to (but that's beside the question!). I do hope that whereever he is, he is loved and is well taken care of by God Almighty. We definitely love you to bits Dad and miss you terribly even till today. Goodbye Dad and God bless!
