My Summer Story
Friday, Nov. 16th, 2013 written by Mickey
This year, I’d like to recall to one of my good memories that I enjoyed with my family in a zoo last summer. If you don’t mind, I’d like to start by saying something about my 3-year-old daughter. Since I got married at a little bit late age compared to my friends, she is the apple of my eye. Moreover, whenever she tags along with us to the market or other places outside, almost all the people that we meet on the street always tell us that she is the spitting image of me. I love to hear that, but on the contrary, my wife easily gets to be jealous or even pissed off every time she hears it directly beside me. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I’m really grateful for the blessings that God gave me in my life because I usually had been regarding myself as a person who is not entitled to have this adorable baby and wise wife. Cut to the chase, starting from early this year, my baby showed her deep interest for some kinds of animals. We found it through a lot of picture-based books that she sticks to all the time. So we decided to take her to a zoo near to my house. To tell you the truth, we were first worried just because most of the real animals in the zoo are big and not like she learns from books. We thought she must be scared to cry when a lion or tiger appears close to her views. You know what happened to her at that time? Our fears turned out to be utterly groundless. She loved to watch almost all kinds of animals and even tried to touch them to feed something. What she liked the most is a group of giraffes and elephants. Just out of curiosity, I asked her why they are her cup of tea. Her imperfect answer was that their long neck and nose looked really funny. She imitated their gestures for a fairly long time. Now, I post up one picture that I took with my lovely daughter there in this bulletin board as the proof of my summer story. These days, as I get old, I do think about what a real happiness means or where it lies. From this sort of a small but precious moment with my family, I realized again that happiness is not far away but very next to where I belong to. My wish for her is, like all the parents do, to grow well and then have a meaningful life not only for herself but also other neighbors. I sincerely hope all of you have a happy life with your beloved people as well. Thank you for reading and watching my summer story to the end.
P.S : Please reply to me whether or not my baby resembles me quite well~
