Today was the pre-launch to one of
the goals on my bucket list. Seeing my kid off to Oxbridge for Higher
Education. Just got back home after dropping her off at the Oxford University
head start program.
She’s at the Hertford College for the next five days
learning at this hallow institution the art of Engineering. All things related
to it to help figure if that’s what she wants to do with the rest of her life.
As we mere mortals are condemned to work for our living, I think this is an
excellent way to help a teenager decide what they want to achieve in life. As
most if not all Asian parents we dream of her becoming a doctor of medicine.
But most of all I love the fact that she’s able to experience all crafts of
life, be it be music, languages, mathematics or even design for that matter.
So this post as much as about my
bucket list, it’s also about her. Although I must admit she’s not even half as
crazy as her father. Which is a good thing I am sure everyone may say, but as
much as my happiness at seeing one goal pre-launch off my bucket list, I think the biggest
one of all as a father, I also hope that she will go through all what I have
gone through in life. Sorrow only teaches you to be stronger, and be extremely
happy when happiness is there in your life. In mine, today!
June this year was one of the most
awful months in my life. I celebrated my daughters birthday my second nephews
entrance to the best University in Washington DC, GWU and pilgrimaging with him
in Sri Lanka . With all this joy came my regression to driving drunk and
crashing my first nephews brand new car, fracturing my foot, getting robbed of
money twice to losing a man who was like my younger brother in Sri Lanka.
July promises better. I pray…
