Happy Birthday, Nabil
It's my boy's birthday today. He turns 9 years old, already. Born at 3.16 PM in 1997. Here in Malaysia. He is the one, for me. I love you, my boy, really, really love you.
We have our times together. Sometimes we fight, sometimes we push each other, but that is okay, because in the end, we can forgive each other and then, we are an unbeatable team of crazy guys that tease each other, have fun with each other, play with each other and more.
We play with each other, not that much anymore than when you were real young. Sadly, because I am so busy, and I am sorry. But the time we have, I enjoy it - even when you beat me in football. And nowadays, you don't only beat me at football, but how often do you help me and teach me how to play your games in the Playstation. Or yesterday, when you explained your mother how to switch on the computer and connect it to the Internet.
Still, I still can see the baby inside of you - but you are growing and hey - you want to be a man, you said.
Your dream is to become a scientist, to explore the genes and create Pokemons. I love you for your ideas, for your laughters. Nothing nicer than to tickle you and hear the laughter from you. The laughter, that was there from the very first beginning. We still spend real quality time together. In the evening, when I read stories to you, or when we have a great good-night hug. Even so you get so strong that it really hurts, when you squeeze me, but hey - I enjoy it because there will be a time, when this won't be the norm anymore.
I can see and feel the changes in you. That you become more serious, whatever that is. That time is shaping you and that society leaves its marks behind. Hopefully, they will never get you totally but that you take from me and your mother what you need to grow in this world.
I love you my boy. Happy birthday to you :)

Happy Birthday Nabil... my father never said anything like this to me :P. But he has done a lot of things for me, especially during my 11 years going to school. I can never thank him enough for what he has done. It's really hard for him to have a son like me. Most of my friends are talking about their babies when we meet at another friend's wedding ceremony. I can feel the desire in me to become a father now but I'm not yet ready to become a husband. Cannot stand a nagging wife... hehe
