Happy Chinese Father's Day and Memories

Hi dadi - happy (one day late) chinese ba ba day! Hope you are having a great day and I'm sure you are watching over us...

I thought of 2 memories (one of them I talked about with momi when we drove in NJ this weekend) --

1. First one is, when I was in middle school in Taiwan, and you went with me to downtown Hsinchu to buy bicycles. I remember we each bought a bike, and then we rode our bikes together int he crazy Taiwan traffic, all the way back from downtown Hsinchu to our house in Science Based Park. I still wonder how we got our car back? I can't remember if momi drove with us back to to pick up the car? It's so funny thinking back to us riding bikes together!

2. Second "memory" which is really momi's memory is when you and momi were driving on Pulaski Skyway when I was still inside of momi's tummy, during winter. Momi said you were going to Aunt and Uncle's wedding in NYC. The road was slippery because of the weather, so you and momi got into a car accident right on the bridge of Pulaski Skyway! Momi said when you guys were about to hit the other car, you said to momi "du-tze, du-tze!" because you wanted her to be careful of me inside her tummy. I guess I was ok because I'm here now. :) Momi said your car had to be towed away and you had to take the bus/train to Aunt's wedding. I like to imagine you and momi together at around the same age as me now (early 30s). It's so interesting to imagine you both around the same age as me!

Anyway, I just wanted to say something on your blog... it's been a while because work has been toooooo busy. But I always feel your blessings on me and momi, whenever good things happen when I think of you. I love you dadi and still miss you very much!
