Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is dad's 60th birthday. My aunt and my colleague's birthday also fall on the same day. My dad has been one of the greatest influence in my life. I respect him and learn alot from him - His humility, his generosity, his honesty, his love for his family and friends by his sacrifice (figuratively and literally) and prayers, his responsibility towards his work and family, and his deep love for God...etc etc

Dad, I love you very much even though I may not show it in the way you may want it. For these past 2 years since the train accident, I have been blaming myself and feeling guilty for causing you such harm and inconvenience now. The guilt that I have in me wells up until at times, I distant slightly from you. Not because I do not love you, but because I love you too much to be afraid to harm you again. I should have driven the car, instead of you. I should have warned you to stop in front of the railway tracks when I was prompted to do so. I know and believe God's hand in this and how I have seen Him in control and how I know that He allowed this to happen. But still, images of the train wreck still surface in my mind especially now when I visit my sister-in-law in Bukit Batok and I have to pass by a railway track and some of the guilt still remains when I recollect back the accident.

Thanks Dad for everything you have done for me and the family. I will definitely bring up Caleb in the ways as how Christ has taught me and will lead me and also as how you have taught me.

May you continue to share your testimony with all those around you and in various churches so that they can see God's love, joy and peace throughout all that has happened and come to accept Christ into their lives.

Love you very much, Dawn
