Dad, we just video chatted with you a few days ago on your birthday, and we made an appointment to bring Noah together during the summer vacation Going to Disney, I really hate you leaving like this.
In my eyes since childhood, you are my hero, and I think there is nothing you can’t do. Our family is not very rich, but you are willing to give us everything you are reluctant to buy. When I was young, taking us to Disneyland every summer vacation was my most impressive memory.
Thank you for teaching me how to play basketball, training with me, supporting my dreams, and watching my games in the middle of the night. All my good habits, knowledge and manners come from your education and example. I came to Taiwan alone for 17 years, and I lost a lot of time to spend with you and my mother. I often regret whether I chose the wrong path, but you always encourage me not to give up. Recently, even the Kings game you have to get up in the middle of the night to watch, and the next day you have to analyze with me what can be improved.
I always hope to work hard to take good care of you and be successful enough to make you proud. But after I had Noah, I realized that Dad only cares about the health and happiness of his son. I hope I can be a father like you one day. I will always miss you, me and Tiffany and Noah love you very much, I'm sorry I didn't end up with you, Dad, I'm going home to see you.
