Ikuzo!


..nothing much -- this is just an open "thank you note" to my sidekick/little brother/son.
..thank you, dude, because in spite of all my bullying, all my snarky remarks, and all my annoying attempts at playful banter , you stayed positive and just smile.
..thank you... because despite my negativity, my control issues, and my unpredictability, you understood and stayed.
..i marvel at your doubtless, innoccent positivity despite the fact that we're short one family member (ie your mother/my ex-wife). it even came to certain instances that you're willing to sacrifice your own happiness just so that i wouldn't be disappointed when in the first place it was me who should be doing that for you.
..so yeah, just remember, your father/big brother is a work-in-progress. i'm already 31; yet having to deal with all these grown-up responsbilities and emotions are still very alien to me. but hey, i'm getting there. and i know i'm not the best dad in the world but i'm doing everything i can to be the best dad at least just for you. i love you very much.
..ikuzo, Eidorian-kun! :D
