Dearest daddy,

It has been a long ten years. And yet it also seemed to go by so quickly. We do all miss you. And it would have been great to have had you at brother's wedding. Mother had to do the handshaking and greetings. I tried to be supportive but I really don't like all this socialising.

I'm still working at the church - although I'm going part time coming this new year. I just need the time to stop for a bit. To rest. To actually really look after the house. I've watched quite a few musicals and read quite a bit of books. Am not sure if you'll like having a Kindle or you'll still be filling up the shelves with books. I've ran out of space and will need to get rid of books if I was going to buy more! I haven't been buying physical books for quite a while now. Have been cheap and getting free ones on Kindle. Sometimes splurging though.

I still remember the first phone I've ever owned. Which is the Motorola you got me. A few people were envious. That was a good surprise. I remember the holidays we use to take. Just chilling. The holidays we take now is pretty different. Guess we found out there's more to the world than just the hotels and swimming pools.

You won't know any of the friends I have now. Maybe only a few back in PJ. That's kinda sad. And if I ever get married, you won't know my husband. Brother recently got married and moved away from home. That was a pretty big life changing thing for the Chin family. I think you will like SIL. If you were here, I can see the five of us hanging out together and chilling comfortably.

Mother is all alone now. Well except for Charlie the poodle. She thinks it may have been you two nights ago when she was looking for her eye patch. I wonder if you would do that sort of thing.

I'm not sure what the next ten years will bring. But I'm sure laughter, crying and food will play a part in it. No matter what though, we will always remember you. I miss having another reader in the family. I'm not sure if it's something you passed to me, but I also get up early in the morning. And wake the whole household up when I do. Haha.

Till we meet again. I wonder if we will.

Your favouritest daughter,
Ems
