I’ll Miss You Too

But I’ll be back soon. At least I’m not gone as long as I was planning to be. Hopefully, we’ll get to eat together tomorrow. I’ll be off a few times next week so we can make up for lost time this week. 

Lesson for today, just because I leave for work doesn’t mean that work is more important than family. It’s just that I have to make money to buy you stuff from dollar tree. It’s not like I want to be here today and tomorrow. I can’t even go golfing or eat good food while I’m here. I’d rather be home with you and mommy. 

Election 2026

Spoiler, it was a blue wave. Anyhow. I really hope politics doesn’t negatively affect you the way it does our world now. Unfortunately, you’re surrounded by people that probably won’t agree with your beliefs. Hopefully they’ll still respect them.

Lesson, be respectful of others’ beliefs even if you don’t agree with them. It’s okay if you don’t agree, just don’t hurt others and let others hurt you. I don’t know what to tell you about what’s wrong and right. Some things you’ll have to learn and decide for yourself.

All Souls Day

Unfortunately, I was not able to make it with mommy to the cemetery. According to Ba Ngaoi I can go anytime this week. Maybe I can make it after my work trip. I saw this lady selling marigolds when we went to Fog Willow yesterday. It would have been nice to have that for the cemetery today. Maybe they'll still have some later this week...

This is what I saw when I woke up and walked into my office today. Pretty cool. Picture doesn't do it justice. Anyhow, sorry you woke up so early today. I did not make it in time to lay back down with you. Mommy wants you to go to bed right now. Wonder what time you'll wake up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't be here because I have to get the oil changed on the sequoia. Lesson for today, don't procrastinate because you'll never know what tomorrow will hold for you.

All Something Day

But for us, just another Boba Daddy Sunday. I don’t know why mommy wants to miss out on Boba Mommy Days. Anyhow, this one will be a little different. I’ll get to focus on your more until mommy gets home. Your uncles said they’re not gonna text me. I don’t think I need to do any work work this early. I always enjoy times when I only have to focus on one thing. That’s why I don’t understand why you are so scattered, but I read somewhere that supposedly it means you’re smart (let’s hope that’s true 🙏).

Anyhow, it’s technically 757A, but mommy said let you sleep and today we can. That’s the lesson, try to enjoy and maximize the moments you can. Life will not give you many opportunities to do so. Make the most of the ones you have. However I with I could do something else right now since I’ve already washed up. I slept with you all night. I don’t need this extra time 😆.

Lightning McBoba

Happy Halloween little buddy. You're my sweet little baby. Thanks for wearing this costume. At least we got one use of it before we donate it. It fits perfectly now. So glad the hat was at home too. Thanks for not wanting to be out too late. Thanks for wanting to pass out candy. No thanks for taking too long to eat and throwing things on the ground.

Tomorrow is the 2nd edition of Daddy and Vinh Sundays. I will take you to My Gym and to Fog Willow. I need you to be good. Today's lesson, do what you need to do first before you do what you want to do. It's better for everyone that way. So eat all your food before you clean your toys. You just want to avoid eating. You want to avoid sleeping too.

Fantastic Friday?

I remembered today how much I enjoy arts and crafts and the act of giving. It just sucks when the people you give to take it for granted or the arts and crafts don't turn out as planned. Today was okay. I think the people that receive the arts and crafts will appreciate it or at the very least, get to enjoy it. I hope you enjoy your last day at Way of the Warrior tomorrow. Not sure if mommy will ever let you back there...

I hope it was a good experience for you. Now you get to go to Kovar. I feel like after a year of Kovar, you can decide if martial arts is for you and if so, which one? Lesson for today, try to do what you love. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, you'll have a good life. I always complain that there isn't enough time, but now that I think about it, I spend a lot of time doing nothing, which I guess is what I love? It's probably not practical to always be doing something.

Trying

Sometimes you do "try" and I appreciate that. Lesson for today: ever tried? ever failed? try again. fail again. fail better. That was the advice of my cross country coach in high school (also a math teacher, Mr. Fairchild, good guy). Strange, but good. That's a great lesson, not just about perseverance, but also about learning from your mistakes. 

We really don't know what you're going to like or what you'll be good at. All we can do is expose you to many things and hope we don't inadvertently turn you off something that you might be good or enjoy. Ideally, it'd be great it you were good and enjoyed the same thing, but that's probably asking for too much. Almost like liking your job when you're an adult...
