Hello Son,
It's New Year's Day.
Time 3:17 pm.
Quiet time.
Mom is grateful for the moment.
She has missed talking to You.
Is there anyway that your mother could retire and communicated with You daily?
Would that be a good idea, Son?
Anyway, here is our Graduation Video (Part 2). The children came to our home in 3 different groups on 3 different days to record their song during the lockdown.
Okay ...
Ready for Aunt D's story???
Are You sitting down???
So anyway, during dinner the night before (Dad's birthday dinner), Aunty D was telling us about the amazing thing that happened to her during her shopping at the mall that afternoon of 24th. In between her texts to the steamboat guy, she was telling us about the inciDAN.
So, Aunty D was at retail outlet X on the 24th.
This was during the afternoon time, before we met up for the steamboat dinner.
She was looking for something to get for Dad.
Aunt D said she was at the socks station. Baby Ryan happened to point at one pack of socks at the top of the rail. It had animal prints on it. There was only one of its kind there.
Aunty D took it and brought it to the counter to ask for the price.
Apparently, the counter sales girl could not find the price resulting in the sales staff having to look for the socks in the whole outlet as they could not seem to find where these socks were displayed. So they continued looking and then realised that that pack of socks were not out for sale yet and they did not know how that one pack happened to be hanging out there in the sock rail.
However, Aunt D held on to it to show them she wanted to buy it.
Next, shirts.
New arrival shirts were RM209.
Aunty D chose 2 t.shirts of different colours from the same shirt stand.
Both had the price tags of RM209.
No discount on these shirts since they were new arrivals.
She chose 2 for Dad, possibly one for birthday and one for Christmas.
At the counter, the cashier scanned the socks, and the 2 shirts.
Aunty D was a little surprised when she heard the total amount ... but she took out her credit card to settle the bill.
She then went to an ice cream parlour to sit down ... because something strange had happened at the cashier ... she said she had to study the bill ... like she couldn't believe what happened.
The sock item had disappeared from the bill.
One shirt was charged right.
The second shirt was charged as RM79 (instead of RM209).
OMG.
Seriously???
This happened at a reputable outlet.
It was like the socks were FREE.
The gifts must have been from You.
How else could You explain this?
So during Dad's birthday dinner, we had FREE gifts and a FREE dinner treat.
Oh boy.
Unbelievable.
Your treats all the way from heaven.
How You manage to do this, only God knows.
Aunty D said, this did not happen when she bought her own stuff, only when she bought Bryan's stuff.
LOL.
Fast forward to December 27.
Justine was leaving on 27.
Her flight was at 4:30 pm and she had to be at the airport like an hour earlier.
We were at the mall (again).
Mom was looking for bedsheets for Justine.
So at one point ...
Mom was by the bedsheets station (Point A).
Dad was like 5 to 6 walking steps away from Mom toward her left (Point B), and Justine was about similar distance away from Mom toward her right (Point C).
Point A, B and C make one triangle.
Can You picture that?
So Mom was standing at A, Dad was at B and Justine was at C.
We were at 3 points ... if we were holding a rope, we would have made a triangle.
With that in your head, guess what happened next???
OMG ...
You would not believe it.
Seriously.
All 3 of us were minding our own business, doing our own thing, at our 3 points, when suddenly a man kinda walked into our so-called triangle ... and called out ...
DANIEL ...
DANIEL ...
Two times. (and a girl's name) (can't remember the name)
Mom turned.
Dad turned.
Justine turned.
The 3 of us had turned ... just in time to see the man who was calling out for his children (presumably), walked into our triangle.
OMG ...
Your mother, father and sister exchanged our OMG glances at one another.
That was surely You.
We know.
From the start of the Christmas Holiday and till the end, You were there with us.
Mom said to Dad and Jus, "Justine is about to leave for the airport ... and he is making sure we all 3 hear his name at the same time ... I mean, we could have been on different floors at the mall ... what are the chances of us all in the same area ... close distance to one another ... like really close distance ... and hearing his name mentioned out loud .. two times???"
He must have summoned us to be at our respective points.
OMG ...
Seriously ...
DANIEL ...
DANIEL ...
We sure got your ZAPS loud and clear, Son.
Happy New Year 2021, Daniel.
This is the Year that we are so gonna be seeing lots and lots of 21s.
Keep the ZAPS coming, Son.
We love you and miss You so very much.
Hugs,
Mom and all at home
