I couldn't remember the last time we celebrated Fathers' Day with one of our sons.
This year was very special as we were with our son in the US and could share a nice meal together on this special day. It was almost two decades ago when we celebrated this special day with our children.
We purposely looked for a nice restaurant with outside dining so that we could be with each other in an open environment. Fortunately, there was a nice restaurant in the area serving a fusion of Asian and western food.
We started with a drink on the patio. While enjoying our drink, we had a car driving by with the driver yelling out pleasantly wishing us a happy fathers day greeting. Then another pedestrian from the neighbourhood walked past us also giving us a similar greeting. WOW! We haven't experienced such kind greetings in America! Twice in a day, that was different!
S. ordered the Father's day special with shrimps on crisp rice as an appetizer, followed by a 16 oz steak with a Lava cake and ice-cream for dessert.
The food was delicious and different, a memorable dinner for Fathers Day!
Sitting at different tables, we were still able to communicate though not as easy as when we could sit together.
We were doing the best we could under the circumstances. I need to remind ourselves that we must be thankful and count our blessings as long as we are all healthy and could be together as a family!
