At Charnwood Water yesterday. Most of the coots around here are quite wary, but this coot family boldly came right up on the shore path.

Yeah that's over exposed but i like the framing ...
My dad had been working and stationed overseas since decades before my birth. He retired and returned to Hong Kong after my university graduation. I only saw my dad during Summer holidays, and Lunar new year, which means less than 4 months every year. I was far from being familiar with my dad and I am not very used to my father's presence upon his retirement. Yet the relationship between dad and son is somewhat beyond description and internal. I always know my dad is a very reliable, capable person who though is very naughty inside, he has granted six of us a very good living environment. In the years from 1980s to 2000s, he has paid more than 2 decades for our family, sacrificing personal life/joy and working alone in Nigeria, a remote country with chaos, instability and solitude.
My mum has been taking care of me every day since my birth until I moved to Hostel in University after the age of 20. I have been fully protected. I am the last kid of the family and I am always my mum's attention, at least before I admitted to university when she should finally feel a bit relieved on her 4th child. I have always been very stressed on academic or self performance in every exam or kinds of competitions, and thus my mum seldom needs to push me to study. Instead, her hard job should be trying to make her tensed son smile and relaxed. Although there is little my mum can really help practically, she is the only one, except totoro, I could talk to during my teenage period.
In a flash, time passed and I am no longer young, which also implies my aging parents also reach the elderly period. In the transiency of life we could hardly grasp anything, and we shall always learn to appreciate, to cherish, to focus, to remember what and whom really mean to us.

It was really nice to spend some time with my parents—they came down to do some Christmas shopping, we had a nice lunch at avery, and they helped with some chores around the house.
Thankful to have such caring parents.
