Family Movie Night: Big Hero 6

via Disney.com.my
We just came home from watching Big Hero 6 at the cinema....and I was really excited to watch this with the girls, and after 102 minutes, I kinda have mixed feelings towards Big Hero 6.

The girls were so excited while waiting for the hall to open. Thank God it's a neighbourhood cinema, so they can run all the want without getting lost in the crowd.  That's it girls, run now, sleep later. muahahaha
Gotta have a pic with Baymax. Family movie night attire: PJs and sweaters for the cold cinema.



Half the excitement from watching a movie at the cinema compared to at home is watching the new movie trailers coming out. I know, I know, I can watch trailers on YouTube but it's just different you know. So imagine my annoyance when we were early (for once!) to the cinema, and the trailers were already playing by the time we get to the cinema hall. .... and it was of the Madagascar's Penguins. *sad face. Bad start here.

So excited, I was taking photos of billboards on the way home from work
*as a passenger.
Fine. Let's just enjoy the movie then. Like all cartoons nowadays, Big Hero 6 hits it big for kids AND adults. But I personally feel adults and older kids have a better understanding on the humour presented in this movie. Baymax, the robot certainly is lovable and cute, especially before he got armours. But the movie itself...lacks the personality to engage. I want to love it, but I just feel... meh. So much meh on the end half of the movie (...except for Fred. Fred makes me laugh. I want to have a friend like Fred. Be my Fred!)

Visually though, stunning. No dissapointments there.

It felt quite draggy at times. Was that just me? Maybe it needed musical numbers like FROZEN! hehe but honestly...though as a mother of two girls, having Frozen on a loop on the Tv is the norm but I think I would prefer it than having Big Hero 6 on a loop. 

So should you bring your kids to see Big Hero 6?

My girls in their PJs for Big Hero 6 movie night.
PP willing to pose, Bambam....not so much. Busy watching the movie already
If your kid, regardless of gender, like action cartoons. Maybe they would enjoy the movie. 
Especially if you are parents to boys it would a different matter coz this movie have lots of actions! fights! karate chops! LASERS! 

The two female role models for the girls; Honey Lemon and Go Go Tomago

It is also good for little girls to see bad a** female scientists/engineers/nerds as heros.

My kids, clearly got doesn't care enough about the movie and fell asleep halfway...just after Baymax started wearing an armour because he became not-so-cute anymore. 

Not so cute Baymax with armour on.
via Disney.com.my
....aaaaaaand personally i think because there were not enough sparkles and glitters. My girls are princesses. I have to deal with that.
They did like the fist bump scenes in the movie though..maybe because I do fist bumps with them. I foresee an evolution to our fist bumping!!!

Other than that, you have to consider one big factor about the movie.
It can be depressing and dark especially for younger kids. As I said...not enough sparkles and glitters. Lots of tears. sad sad moments.

**INCOMING! SPOILER ALERT!**

In Frozen, we see Anna and Elsa's parents being lost at sea, as a big wave crashes on top of their ship.... *sniff sniff I still get teary eyes when I watch that scene over and over again*.

Big Hero 6 is not just about a cute huggable marshmallow looking robot, it also deals with a lot of issues of loss and death. Like, a lot. 
First, PP was asking about Hiro's parents. She asked if Hiro's brother is the dad, and when I said thats the brother, she asked again, where are the parents? What happened to them? Why did they die? Why do they live with their aunt? Then....

****BIG SPOILER ALERT, WARNING**** 
....Hiro's big brother died.  The questions came again. What happened to the brother? Why did he die? Why did he have to die? Why is fire dangerous? Did the fire kill him? Is he really dead? Why is he dead? ....... Yes. LOTS of questions which i had to answer as quietly and as short as possible, in the cinema. WHILE the movie was playing....DURING the sad scenes. Mummy is trying to get emotional here, you're a buzz killer PP with your loaded questions on death. :P

If PP was awake the other half of the movie, she would have asked a LOT more about loss and death...because there were more sad sad sad scenes. and kinda violent scene.

So when bringing your kids to watch this movie, have a game plan on how to answers all this beforehand. Or you would be wishing you could have just waited for the DVD to come out instead. 

Still love Fred though.

Kim K and her Special Hermes Kelly


via Instagram

Poor moms have expensive handbags under lock and keys so it can be protected from the little monsters, I mean...little kids grimy hands and ever so easily found permanent markers and/or crayons.

Rich moms hands over their super duper expensive handbags to their toddler for a custom designed bag.

I am not a rich mom....but only if my child is super talented, then maybe...maybe then I'll hand over one of my white bags for them to draw on as they please.

Oh I don't have any white handbags. Oh it's okay...If I were a rich mom, I would buy a super duper expensive white handbag just for my kids to draw on.

Ok you know what...maybe not. Kids buy their own handbags if you want to scribble on it yeah? don't touch mummy's. 

Ps.btw.fyi: not judging Kim K in anyway. I think her North designed Hermes Kelly is kinda cute. Excessive display of motherly  love right there. Does Victoria Beckham have a Hermes doodled by Harper? I wonder......

Rash Alert: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Part 3, The Update


The day after we went to the ER for the evaluation of PP's rash and joint pains, we had a visit with the peadtrician, Dr Ali. This is not her normal Pead...Dr Sanjay's schedule was too full for an appointment that morning and since Dr Ali was available, off we went to see him instead.

Once we were seated, I did not mention my strong suspicion on PP having HSP. I let the good doctor inspect her first, told him what lead to the rash and pain. And as he was looking at her rashes, he just said "it is Henoch-Schonlein Purpura"....

Never doubt a mother's instinct ya'all.

He asked for a blood test to be made, to which I said it was done the night before and handed him the results. So he hurm and hmm as he looked at the test and said ok, good. And he explained to us what it all meant.....aaannddddd I can't remember what he said but it's a good result lah! So alright.



Then he asked for PP to go for a urine test. Just to confirm there are no blood in her urine that cannot be detected under the naked eye. 

Why is it so easy for kids to want to pee when you are out shopping, especially when you are at one end of a mall and the toilet is waaaaaaaay on the other end but when they need to pee in a cup in a hospital, it takes them ages? WHY?!!! 



It was hard, it took hours, we even composed a song about it, to the tune of Farmer in the dell, the nursery rhyme,

"We're peeing in a cup, Peeing in a cup, hei ho dilly O, we're peeing in a cup!" 
Mummylicious' version

"We're peeing in a cup, Peeing in a cup, hei ho dilly O, we're peeing in a cup! with Ice cream and Milo and the sun comes up!" PP's version. Don't ask me why there's icrecream and sun in the lyrics. 


By the time we managed to get a small but sufficient amount of urine to be tested, the Paedtrician was off for his wardround or lunch. So we were told to just head home and his clinic will call us with the results.

Couple of days later, Dr Ali personally called me back to confirm, URINE IS CLEAR!
Never have I been so ecstatic to hear news about pee. #motherhood
But of course, I was informed to bring my daughter to the doctor again if

  1. PP's joint pain worsen < it did not. YAY!
  2. any abdominal pain < there are none so far. YAY!
  3. any blood in urine and/or stool < happy to report there have been no pink tinged pee and/or poo. YAY! 
Update after 5 days:



Rash aka Purpura have cleared leaving PP's leg with small dark marks that doesn't seem to be permanent. No scarring! Yay! 

Small bruises of multiple colours and tones are still around

Update after 8 days:

Usually if it is a bad case of HSP, abdominal pain / kidney issues will crop up about now. 
SO far....Nothing. Yay!

A few number of new red rash aka Purpura have surfaced between the disappearing one, but super minor, Mummylicious not so concern about it. Especially since PP have not complained of ANY joint pains. 

Alhamdullilah...it seems to be a minor case. Mummylicious and The Daddy are continuing to monitor PP but I think the worse have past (cross fingers and toes). Thank you for your prayers and doas, aunties and uncles, I do sincerely appreciate it.

Rash Alert: What is the Glass Test? Can I panic now?!


When your kid have a rash on their skin, most times the parents will  first be going "Oh. no", then they start questioning themselves "Is this serious? Should I worry? Should I go to the doctor?" and then...they Google the symptoms....and then they cry or near tears because somehow the result is, something really really bad, probably will cause death. And we haven't even gone to the doctor yet!

Raise of hands how many parents go through this stage at one point or another?
*Mummylicious raises both hands.

"There are a myriad causes of rashes. Most of them are red and splotchy and no one can really tell you what caused it and then they go away, leaving no one much the wiser. There is however, one particular rash that it is really really important that you know how to look for." from Dr Orlena Kerek, Paediatritian, Snotty Nose.com

So how do you, as a parent, decide WHEN TO PANIC OR NOT TO PANIC?!!!! when we find rashes or anything that look like rashes/ bite marks on our precious children?

First, before you panic worry about the rash and frantically annoy your doctor or run to the ER, do the "glass test". All parents new or not-so-new parents should be aware of this test. Just for the sake of peace of mind, when the situation requires you to be alert, at least you know immediately what to do and annoy your doctor accordingly. 
"The glass test is a simple way of telling if a rash blanches. This means that when pressure is put on the skin, the rash fades. The glass test is useful, because it enables a parent to tell whether a rash is worryingly serious or not.
To perform the glass test
  • Take an ordinary clear glass (or plastic) tumbler
  • Place it on the skin next to the spots
  • Roll it onto the spots, applying firm pressure. Note that the normal skin under the
    glass goes white as the blood is pushed out of the tiny surface blood vessels
  • If the spots fade when the glass is rolled over them, the rash isn’t serious
  • If a spot doesn’t fade, it is a non-blanching rash, and needs urgent medical attention"

 Here I did the "glass test" on PP's HSP Rash.
Not the first time I did this, but it was the first time the rash did not blanche.

Rash Alert: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Part 2




Continuation from Rash Alert: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Part 1

After we came back from SDMC ER Outpatient, I started researching on "non-blanching rash", "non meningitis rash" basically, I went through all type of info on rashes and went through all type of photos. As if I can sleep before I can narrow down what the heck is this rash that does not blanche, causes MY daughter pain but not so serious that it can wait until the morning?!

Since the ER Doctor assured me it, he strongly does not believe it is bacterial meningitis due to the lack of fever and blood test results, it was a huge relief but not quite. Because he have no idea what else it could be. Not even a clue (maybe he had a clue but not saying).


Rash Alert: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Part 1


I thought I had enough of SDMC's Emergency Room visits for this year (another story, another post). But of course, being a parent of two children....that obviously wasn't the case.

Ever since PP came back from last Sunday's Disney show...she have these substantial amount of bite marks on the bottom half of her legs. It looks like mosquito bites...or even mites. We assumed that she was bitten at the show...some infected chair at the auditorium ? even though her sister, Bambam, her Aunty Tiyah, and "Uncle" Kaiser have no bite marks whatsoever. But they were wearing pants....maybe they were not bitten because they wore pants? 

I was concern (of course) but the most that was done was to put some lotion to ease whatever itchiness and redness that might come from the bites. But here was the funny thing, I asked PP,

"Is it itchy?" "No" she answered
"Do you have a headache?" "No." (some can see where my brain was already going)
"Does your neck hurt?" "No." 
"Do you feel sick?" "No, I feel fine, mummy!"  Well.... Q&A session was clearly over. 


PP had no fever, I checked the soles of her feet and hands, they were clear, so I really didn't think too much about it. 

On Wednesday afternoon, the "bite marks" have diminished, no longer red. But come night time...she was in great pain! Her legs were hurting her, she said. Around the knee and ankle, she said. She can't walk because it would hurt her so much. And worse...the "bite marks" have turned into inflamed rashes. 

That was when I immediately asked for a clear glass - immediately did a "glass test" otherwise known as the "meningitis rash test" and saw that the rash did not blanche at all. Drop everything, and off we went to the hospital for medical attention. 

It is worth a note, The Daddy wanted to go to the 24 hours clinic nearby, but with a non-blanching rash, I am not taking my chance with clinics, I rather be at the hospital just in case things turn for the worse.  

(More on the rashes and what I did before I decided "TO PANIC OR NOT TO PANIC!" in Rash Alert: Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Part 2. Read HERE and HERE)

PP was in too much pain to walk, and you can see the rashes on legs from knee to ankle.

Baby went to watch a movie for the first time!

Crazy busy that would be my summary. So crazy I have had no time to update as frequently as possible. But I must! I MUST! or every week would be like this...backtracking coz you must not NOT update milestone right? Milestones are important...that is why they are called milestone, an important stone. or not it will be called simply, a rock.

And the not rock but milestone event was
.
.
.

Baby PP, Mummylicious and Daddylicious went to watch a movie for the first time as a family unit! Yippee!

A very family friendly movie. 
TOY STORY 3!

"What are we watching Mummy? Hmmm looks interesting indeed"
"Mummy! I can't see! Why don't i get a 3D glasses too? See! I have to squint my eyes"

Now we went to watch this 2 weeks ago, so Baby PP was 8 Months and 2 Weeks Old. 

Did she cry? 
Yes, a bit

Did she made a fuss about the darkness?
Not really

Did she actually watched the movie? 
At the very end yes...when the music came out! She started clapping and moving back and forth! Hehe of course no video because it was too dark in there. 

Tips tips because Mummylicious have this thing about giving tips to others. Take it or leave it, not my concern, just want to share what I've experienced.

TIPS WHEN BRINGING A BABY/ INFANT TO A CINEMA TO WATCH A MOVIE

1. Have snacks at hand. FOOD is vital

We went to watch after work and it was right before Baby PP's dinner time. Being an impromtu movie session, no dinner was prepared. Since there was a supermarket nearby, i trotted at the end of the shopping mall to get Baby PP some snack and dinner just in case. She had her Heinz bottled dinner. Baby PP was fussy earlier than normal feeding time, so we fed her anyway, in the dark.

Of course, milk. For me, breastfeeding. Hehe so milk always at ermm hand. 

Something new for Baby PP's tastebuds, Heinz Rice Crackers
(its really meant for infants above 10 Months but yeah. don't care. Baby PP loves to munch and she LOVED this. Around 4 pieces dissapeared in her mouth)

2. Get couple seat

Why? More space and baby can sit in between parents easily. Plus, most cinema's couple seat are situated at the top so you can leave the stroller at the very top and within reach. No stairs complication.

Or you can do what we did, just seat ourself in the couple seat even though we bought normal seat somewhere in the middle row, right in the middle. (we didn't buy them...our childless, unmarried friend did!...see...what you don't know before you have a baby to consider)

3. Get seated by the aisle

Escape route. All parents should have a ready escape route at hand that will minimise other patron's discomfort.Be considerate lah. If your baby cries, don't just sit and hope baby will stop crying. 

All we had to do was get up and moved behind the backrow and Baby PP was okay again. Didn't miss a single thing.

4. Have a lighttorch / mobile phones with lights ready

Ever tried feeding in darkness? No? You don't want to try. Plus, handy to look for escape route.

5. Watch when the cinema is not full ie: not at opening weekend!

Again, minimise any other patron's complaints. You be more comfortable knowing that. 
Also, if you didn't buy couple's seat or get a seat on top or near an aisle, so much easier to just sit anywhere you like! ...like we did! *BIG GRIN*

The non married childless couple who bought the movie tickets coming up from their middle row.
See Baby PP wants to watch the credit wondering where the cartoon people have gone to.

The family at the end of the movie

Our verdict :: Loved it! Loved the movie and loved the experience. Now I am no longer afraid to bring Baby PP out to watch a movie. So long its a family friendly one :)

Try it! Even when the baby is much younger. Researchs have shown that baby feels comforted when in the cinema because the darkness and noises replicates the environment in the womb. Just remember tip no.5 at least.

Mummylicious & Baby play with accessories 2

So Baby PP is sick with still undiagnosed rashes. Does it mean the end of getting bullied by her mean mean parents? Of course not! We are mean! Ok actually, its the Daddy that is mean. I just take photos.

First Daddylicious bullied Baby PP with the clinic's medicine plastic bag.
It was a hat that turned into one foot socks! She didn't even try to remove it.

Then Daddylicious's cap got onto her head.

Then it was Mummylicious's English paperboy hat replaced the cap because the cap was deemed not cute enough. Baby PP was not happy at the end.

And here is a couple of photos of Baby PP getting bullied by her Tok Mami and Aunty Wawa. (My MIL and SIL)

Ah..fun times.

Baby had a fever and severe rashes: allergy, chicken pox or roseola?

Hectic. That would be the word for the last 4 days. Waking up with Baby PP having a high fever one day and a body full of rash the next day. Regardless of the amount of information new parents have at their fingertips, a trip or two to the doctor is a must when situation like this occur. 

Thursday
High fever of 38.2 degree made an appearance early in the morning.
The day before Mummylicious noticed a start of a fever and stayed home in hope it will not worsen. It "worsen". I woke up with a worry, told Daddylicious and we trooped to SDMC's emergency. Baby PP's pead was on holiday so the emergency doctor will have to do without a prior appointment with another peads. 

Baby PP looking sad at SDMC emergency.

Fever was confirmed at 38.2 degree celsius. A confirmed fever. Normal baby's temperature should be between 36 to 37 degree celcius and with Baby PP staying in air conditioned house is normally at 35.9 degree celsius. (Parents should be aware of baby normal temperature to know the difference). High temperature would be above 38.5 degree celcius. More in link below

SDMC emergency doctor checking Baby PP's mouth. Maybe it teething fever? 

But the doctor checked Baby PP and asked about vomiting, coughing, diarrhea, feeding and drinking habits. I could only answer, no to vomiting coughing diarrhea, baby PP is eating less but want more breastmilk, refusing regular plain water which she normally love. 

Since to the doctor, the fever is still considered mild, we were advised to get Baby PP to drink plain water no matter what, prescribed baby paracetamol and if the fever persisted at the same temperature the next day, another trip to the emergency is a must. That is all they could do.

Friday
Fever was lower than the day before. Still feverish but so long it is lower, it should be ok.
Noticed a couple of rash spots on Baby PP's abdomen but thought it was just a mild irritation. 

Saturday
Woke up with Baby PP's abdomen and back full of little raised rashes. Must admit, I panicked a bit, called Daddylicious to come home from an exhibition in KL, got him to contact our family doctor straight and did online research. I was most worried about meningitis rash and no matter how prepared i was before, the readings i did about "when a parent should really worry about rashes", i forgotten everything! All i remember about meningitis was there will be fever and rash!

FYI meningitis rash will not be raised. It will be below the skin and look more like bruises. When presses, skin will not turn white but remain red or purple-blueish. 
"Use the glass test if your child has a rash and you suspect it could be meningitis. This is done by pressing a drinking glass firmly against the rash - if the spots don't fade through the glass, it could be meningococcal sepeticaemia, so call your GP immediately. If the spots fade away, the test is negative. But call your GP if you are worried." Askamum.co.uk
Meningitis checklist for infants 
(meningitis rash is only one of the symptoms that might or might not appear)
 
(More links on Meningitis symptoms for babies and children at the bottom. I include it cause it is important to know and it is often misdiagnosed by *gasp doctors!)

Gave a deep sigh of relief after I poke Baby PP in the tummy and everywhere there were rashes to check if it turns white or remain the same even when i know raised rashes = not meningitis. One can never be too sure.

Once Daddylicious got back. We made a trip to see our family doctor to have a look at the rashes.

Roseola rash on baby chest and abdomen
Day 1: Baby PP's rash on her abdomen.  

Roseola rash around neck area
Day 1: Baby PP's rash behind her ears and on her neck

She concluded it could be 2 things. 

Allergic reaction

To what is unknown. the only new thing was given to Baby PP was pamelo fruit. and that is highly unallergy trigger! egg yolks was given too far back to be a cause and she had paracetamol before with no side effects.
or 

Chicken pox
"this starts off with a few red spots or bumps (often mistaken for insect bites). Fever is common. The next day many more bumps will appear, and the first bumps will have turned into blisters. " AskDrSears
The doctor gave Baby PP antihistamine medication and with advise to see our regular pead on Monday if rash persist and to just let the pead know what is happening for the records.

If its allergic reaction, rashes will subside. Stop paracetamol just in case it was paracetamol allergy, no more egg yolks till a couple of weeks although the time frame of egg yolk allergy doesn't fit, no fish, no chicken, no new food...and no random table food. :P

If it is chicken pox, it will be worst. By day 3-4 the now flat rashes will be watery inside. To easily see, use a flashlight :) Then it is chicken pox and a trip to the peads is a MUST. if it is measles...which is doubtful due to MMR vaccination, definitely must see doc. My family doc dont think its chicken pox though cause it looks too much like measles but Baby PP is too happy to be "measly"

Day 1: Drugged out from the antihistamine

and this is how my little lady sleeps.

After my immense research about fever and rashes. I have to add a 3rd possible cause, one that is usually the last to be diagnosed but thankfully least harmful if it was not. Just a lot of Mummy being paranoid harm.

Roseola virus.
"It is a usually harmless illness caused by a virus. It occurs almost only in children age 3 months to 3 years, most often between 9-12 months. It is probably the most common cause of fever in this age group. This virus generally causes 3 days of high fever (often over 103). The fever then subsides, and the child breaks out in a flat or bumpy red rash, usually starting around the neck, back and chest, then spreading out. The rash lasts a few days to a couple weeks."
"What is most striking is that the child seems so well despite having a high fever."
Baby PP's case suits Roseola virus description. A high fever that dissapeared and  AFTER that rashes all over the back, abdomen, head and face. Rashes will only extend to the arms and legs in extreme cases. And she only want to be carried everywhere although she still somewhat smiling, laughing and curious about everything but must be on someone's lap. and she sleeps more than normal. It fits. Especially when most mommies forumers talk about baby fussiness and extra clingyness. Other than that, baby PP is quite a happy baby. Just dont let Mummy walk away from her. that is all.

 Busy playing after seeing the doctor that she did not realise something is amiss

"Mummy!!! I'M STUCK!"
Baby PP's being sick does include being stuck underneath the sofa during playtime
Fortunately, if it turnes out to be Roseola, Baby PP should recover in a few days without any intervention with no side effects. There is a chance of seizures but it should not cause any brain damage or anything to worry about. 

They only advise parents to "BE CALM, clear area of any objects that might hurt the child, turn child to the side so chocking on drool might occur and let the seizure run its course". Most important that i and the rest of the family to remember is....BE CALM...if it happens. Remember Mummylicious, be calm and carry on. 
"The good news: Once your child has had roseola, he'll probably have lifelong immunity to it."  BabyCenter

Sunday
Rash still there albeit it looks less menacing. But it has truly spread all over her face! Awww

Roseola rash on baby face
Day 2: Rash spread all over Baby PP's face :(

Although Roseola rashes are not supposed to be itchy, we won't know right? Not like Baby PP can tell us if it itcy or not. And what if it was chicken pox? So in an effort to ease the possibly itchiness, we put a traditional Malay oitment on PP....which was....

BEDAK SEJUK! I dont know the translation in english, but it is basically white powder that is cooling to the skin. Old people and those that value traditonal beauty practice puts on bedak sejuk on the face to maintain clear skin.

And then we put them on ourselves in support of Baby PP! hehe 
and look at her staring at her Daddy's sudden "whiteness".

Whatever causing the rashes, it is still undiagnosed and we must patiently wait it out while looking forlornly at the sad, red face of Baby PP. 


Hopefully tomorrow, Monday, we can get something out from Baby PP's normal pead.
Update: 100% Roseola. Classic high fever, then 3 days later...small pimply rash all over. Completely harmless but heck scared the Fish out of me.

Happy Father's Day to Daddylicious!


Last month was my first Mother's Day ever, but today it is Daddylicious turn as it is his first Father's Day ever! 
My husband, I am glad I married you. You have proven to be the father I always wished my children to have. A father that gave my little baby first bath, , feed her when she is hungry, bath her when she is dirty, change her diapers willingly and almost willingly during Poo-Poo situation when she needed it, soothe her when she cries, rock her to sleep when she is tired, take care of her when I couldn't and most of all, giving her your time and being there for her. 

Baby PP suprising Daddylicious with her card
"Here Daddy. Hope you like it....*looking worried Daddy won't*"


The Card: The inside pic that made Daddylicious cried. A photo of the first time he laid eyes on Baby PP and truly the first day of Daddy-hood. It says,

"To my daddy - Even though you bully me everyday,
I know you love me.
and I love you too, that’s why I like to poo-poo whenever you’re home so you make time to change my diaper instead of watching golf.

Mummy can read my mind, so she wrote this for me.
I typed “avcfdndfjkjs” but m=Mummy said Daddy won’t understand so she translated this to “adult language”.

HAPPY DADDY’S DAY!

Heart heart. Baby PP 8 Months and 8 days old."


And then she got bullied again by her Daddy.
"Daddddyy! I gave you a card! stop bullying me!! no, No, NOOO!!! waaah!!!"

To my own Papa, Happy Father's Day. Though I hardly express it, I love you Papa. You were not the modern age father Daddylicious is, but I know you tried to make time to there for us when we were younger even with your demanding job and provided the family whatever we needed and most of our wants. Love you.
