About This Site
Bought a note book, intended to write major things that happen in William’s life but it has been 3 years since William was born, I have not written ONE single word on it! Busy? I can’t use that as an excuse because anyone would have few minutes to write down something in 1 day. I guess mostly because I don’t write that much for so long that my hands get awkward; but most importantly it’s because when you write things on paper, you have to think about the full sentence in your head first before putting the pen down unless you want to keep erasing and writing to perfect a sentence. This takes too much thinking!
I’m a Web Programmer, I sit in front of a computer for at least 8 hours a day; I prefer to use keyboard to type than hand writing; so I thought “Why not write it on-line?” . That is how this site was born!
About William

To William
Son, we love you with all our hearts; we love you just the way you are and who you want to become. So lead a simple and happy life because remember, money can buy a lot of things but it cannot buy real happiness or true friends. So be yourself and don’t waste time on people who don’t care about you and ignore those ugly words that they say about you.
Life is not easy, it’s full of obstacles but don’t be discouraged. There will be times you’d feel sad, there will be times people would let you down; there will be times your heart would be broken; there will be times you might fail; there will be time you’d feel you’re all alone and no one understands you; there will be time you’d feel helpless but please don’t give up because when you give up you’ll loose a chance to succeed. Most importantly, there are at least 2 people in this world love you unconditionally and support you wherever you are: Mom & Dad. So come to us whenever you need a loving arm.
So my son, when you fall, stand right up and try again; Don’t ever give up HOPE and COURAGE. And be KIND.
Love,
Mom & Dad (Michelle & Tim)
