Thank you, dad…

This is the Facebook post "Thank you, dad..." I wrote on February 15th, 2011.

Today is February 15th, 2025.

After 14 years, the emotion is still the same. I would like to share the full post with you in this blog:

I remember

When I was only a small kid

My father taught me English by pointing at many colorful pictures

“Follow me, read out loud, alright?”

He taught me basic grammar and pronunciation

I remember

When I was only a small child

My timetable was full of extra-classes

English, Math, and many others

After class, it was self-study time which is instructed by my father, though

I remember his strict rule

“No meal, no break time

Until you finish it all”

I remember his strict words

 “Study well or you will become nothing than a beggar”

I remember I often wondered

“What’s the meaning of living?

To do a routine like a machine?”

I remember I often asked myself

“What’s my freedom and happiness?

Is it making my parents happy and proud by study well?

Although I am bored, tired and not happy at all?”

Then came the Moondancing

I found a new world

In which I expressed my emotion to the fullest

I found a new “me”

Who was confident enough to walk in his own way

“Stop it and focus on studying!” shouted my father

And for the first time in my life

I disobeyed!

How many times had I quarreled with my father?

How many times had I ran into my room, slammed the door?

Before he passed away?..

I don't remember...

“Prove to me, son

Prove that you can balance your life

Dancing is your PASSION, I cannot stop you, fine..

But having a job, which is as stable as possible, is your DUTY

Please, don’t earn a living by only dancing

And whatever you do, take a good care of your health

Cause you have a family to take care

As soon as I pass away”

And for the first time in my life

Totally hopeless and helpless

I cried in vain

Father…

Thanks to your strictness, I become stronger

Thanks to your words, I become more determined

PASSION and DUTY

I will keep that in mind

Father, look at what and how I have been doing

Once again,

I don’t know how far I may go

But one thing is certain,

I will never stop!

Father…

Rest in peace…

Tu Michael

After I post this on Facebook. There are some positive comments from my friends:

I hope that my dear forever true good friend will read this.

I hope my dear forever true good friend Yvette Sanchez will read this, too. And please tell me what do you think about my English level? Is it good enough?

Now I am teaching my 2 princesses English, too. And I will also inspire Trại Gà MMO's members to learn English with the most practical way. Learn English to earn money, not to earn good marks.

Because thanks to English and Moondancing, I can make money online. You can read how I made 2000 USD by dancing like Michael Jackson here.

That's all for today.

See you in the next post.
