Happy Birthday

-
6am. A call came.
Master Hearing. The voice said.
We were separated in another room.
Ten minutes later.
We walked into a tense room. 
I could almost read it.
Then it became a blur.
All I heard.
Was the word.
Termination.

To Laugh While Crying.

Also. 

There was a light.
Three versions of a birthday song.
Chinese, English and Korean.

Made me smile. 

This glow.

Daddy, We have celebrated Mummy's 70th Birthday this April 7, 2026.  She and I chose the theme - Spicy Seventy. She wanted a big red chili as a photo prop. I blew it up to an massive size and top it with a Mexican hat. Mummy had the best time of her life. Guess who went on stage to talk and opened my show? Your grand daughter. Proudly introducing herself by the name that you gave her. For the first time, all our cousins were dancing together on the dancefloor. Everyone. Two Kaufus and Mummy dancing together too. Ants is a big boy now. Holding on to his last few tastes of hugs, cuddles and jumping into arms bigger than your body. Koko is strong and still going on and on. In spirit and in character. Kaufu is happy. His happiness flows through his family. Daddy, You have blessed us well. We are well. We are good, Daddy. I miss you. I miss you so  much...  !
