LETTER TO DAD - 2

Dear Dad

How are you feeling today? You seem to be breathing better the past few days and sleeping so soundly. Do you know that your sisters and brother-in-law from Singapore and JB came all the way to see you? Do you know your family has been coming to the hospital to see you every day and night for the past 14 days urging you to wake up, get well and come home.

You have been sleeping and resting for 2 weeks now. It is time to wake up. Aren't you tired of the bland baby food they have been feeding you? If you wake up, we will bring you mom's chicken soup and fish porridge. We can then move you to an individual room with TV. You can watch the EPL football matches and your favorite Hokkien soap opera. You have already missed out on so many episodes.

Your grand children remain ever optimistic. They never gave up hope on you.They believe you are a fighter and will pull through this critical period. This is a big challenge for you dad. Prove the doctors wrong. Show us miracles can happen.

Today is 6 December. New Year is just around the corner. Your birthday is also coming up soon. We want you to wake up, get well and walk out of the hospital by Christmas. Remember the big welcome party when you returned from Singapore 13 years ago. There were balloons, streamers and welcome home banner. Well, that was nothing really. We promise this time around, the party will be simply awesome - the mother of all parties.
