I asked a Chinese person if they celebrate Father's Day. She said they celebrate if they remember. I took that as a no. Of course we celebrate back home in the States and I wish I could be with my father today!
He has always been supportive of everything I've done. Moving to Los Angeles, moving to China. Working in television, working as a teacher. I'm sure he never knows what I'm going to say I'm doing next and I appreciate the fact that he doesn't freak out (at least to my face) and just wants me to be happy. He has his doctorate in music and has been a teacher / mentor to probably thousands of students over the years. Music has allowed him to travel the globe and I definitely got the traveling gene. He never pushed me into music or teaching. However, I was in music for a majority of my life and now I'm a teacher. Growing up he had a way of showing me what was important without pushing me into it.
Thanks for being a great dad! I hope you're having a nice Father's Day! I miss and love you!
