Grandfather Birthday, 20 September 2008

Thinking of ways to make my grandfather 80th birthday on Sept 20 a meaningful celebration. Give me ideas if you have one, appreciate that. It's quite special this time because my parents and brother intended to TREAT my grandpa best friends and relatives for a dinner in a Chinese Restaurant.

Feel it meaningful because my grandpa and family have a wonderful opportunity to chat with relatives and friends who have not meet one another for a very long time. This birthday celebration creates a wonderful platform for them to interact. As I said, we need to make things happen, it's not easy to organise it with many 'problems' faced especially when you are in a Chinese family.

I will try my best to make it as meaningful as possible because this is my grandpa 80th birthday. My grandpa will only experience this big celebration (80th birthday) once in life, only once...I realize that my grandpa is really old now and I guess there is not much time left, may be another 10-20years with him...I dont know when he is going to leave me, only GOD knows about it...but I can tell you that the day will come as time passes and I will feel extremely sad then.

I am racing against time...I want my grandpa to be proud of me and I hope to bring glory to the family as a reward for their sacrifices. To me, that is what a good grandson should do. That's the basics. Always trying hard to make the family happy. Sounds simple, but how many people knew and practice that....you have to answer honestly! Be truthful and dont lie..Make a change if you find yourself not practicing it. It's never too late for a change!
