I've always had the misfortune of missing the great "skiing Winters" whenever I went back to Norway. It'd always be a bit "warmer" whenever I go back... resulting in poor skiing seasons. I kinda blamed it on global warming... and feared I'd never experience that "perfect" Winter ever again. So, for a while, I've longed for that cold cold Winter to greet me...
I guess, my wish has been granted...
It's not that I'm entirely reveling in the sudden drop in temperature... no, not at all... I'm quickly losing all sense of touch from my fingers as I type...
It's just that I have, only now, realised that I couldn't have asked for a more perfect Winter... here in Oz, of all places. Despite the coldness, there's warmth in my heart that is growing... I thought it had been put out a long time ago.
I do not yet fully understand... I long to know more. May the cold remind me of my thirst for you...
I've been meaning to post more often... but I thought there were enough "compromising" pics of Lisa on other people's Xangas for the month... so I've postponed such posts to another time. This isn't one of them. ^^
Having grown up in different countries and cultures... I've always forgotten or did something really insignificant to commemorate the special occasion that we call "Father's" and "Mother's" Days. The problem was... that the dates for these "special days" were all different from country to country. I remember celebrating Father's Day in Norway... and soon after arriving in Australia, celebrating it again... within the space of a few months.
I know this sounds like an excuse... and it is... a poor one at that.... but my point is that no matter what day it is... where ever we may be... at any given time.... we should always be thankful of our parents and what they have done for us. Many of their acts of love and care have been quite obvious to our eyes.. but I realise more and more that there have been even greater number of occasions where their sacrifices had gone unnoticed.
With that in mind... I salute our parents... and may we not forget such caring and worrying "Father-Son" moments such as these:
