Dad’s Four Children
A few years after the war, Dad had me as the family’s first child. He was so delighted to have me that he celebrated by distributing sweets to every home in the complex where they lived. A year after I was born, my family had a second child, another girl. After five years there was another addition to the family, still a girl. My younger sister and I wanted a new sister and were very happy to have one indeed! But as time would show, Dad had an inner craving for a son. So it was not until another 11 years later when Mon gave in and gave birth to a baby boy.
The entire family was joyous to welcome the new intruder who was going to bring a lot of fun and happiness into the family years on.
Dad had contributed to the family not only by earning reputable income but also taking interest in his children’s education. That sure helped all of us find good careers as engineers like him later on in our lives. We followed his footsteps, completely believing in him and his principles and feeling there was no other way. It was ingrained in us and that is exactly what makes us so successful today. We are indebted to him definitely.
