It would never again be possible to retrace all these happenings and happiness. Back in my memory still exists montages of last Valentine, in 2008, when Me and York were teaching in chaoyang, thinking of all the fun and love we were missing, alone with the students. 365 days later Me and Showay are perched in hot spring at the foot of Lushan Mountain..West Sea they call it. Soaked in water, soaked in love {if that's what love truly is}.

 

Call me crazy if I told myself 10+ yrs later I, the very husband or father, had committed all these: having her riding on back for more than 200M? having her astride my waist, kissing for 214seconds ...Oh boy, The love-athon got so wild. But it literally happened, quite unlike the way we had expected before we launched the Valentine journey. We thought it absolutely silly, embarassing to do so especially before hundreds of people, cameras, flashes, and let alone all the woos and wows... haha. But as it really turned out, totally unexpected. [We did it with a sort of passion, a passion which thoroughly garantees every affection that we didn' know we have ]Was it the love that drove us forward, or, the lovely and generous coupon and gift, or something else, something we already thought we lost back in ten years ago, and re-launched it, just to prove that we actually still had it, courage, innocence.? God only knows. but for sure, we're enjoyoing. Finishing all these love-maniac PDA, I coundn't help calling my parents and baby boy. Oh God, if Sam was able to speak, Dadday was so gonna tell u what just happened with mommy.!!!

 

So it was fun and love all the way, a rare Valentine celebrated in a rare way. 10+years, how many more 10 years to go?

 

Sam's lips start to linger with "papa", whether consciously or not, a beautiful sign of love, a brilliant sign of life.

 

Back to NC, back to work, sustaining everything the way that it was left, trying to embrace it a very different way, hopefully keep on fighting, living.
