In the mood for love

For the moon festival, I made a trip to the Chinese stores. I remember how my father used to prepare for the occasion when he was around, even though we would not exchange words for the whole day or the days before and after. He just cooked a sumptuous dinner and laid the various traditional snacks (mainly fruits, with symbolism) around. Sometimes I was amazed and wondered why he even bothered, since he was so cold and mainly kept to himself. Tonight I did not fetch all the traditional food items, but I felt the need to treat myself. And I did. I know my late father would like me to do that.

Glad you decided to treat yourself. Indeed, we shouldn't forget ourselves.

BTW your photo is pleasingly out-of-focus. Makes the moon have a nice glow.

and scroll down to my comment. I'm getting tired of rewriting this thing wherever anyone has this problem. It's old-fashioned; it works, and it's cheap.
I'm glad you haven't confused your father's silence with indifference. Being a dad is a rough act; I'm still not sure how well or how badly I did.
