As a father, I realized very early
that it is not only getting the best job, house, car etc; makes one happy or
successful in life, but to get married and settle. Many acknowledge marriage as
a form of trap, unity without comfort or freedom. I don’t see it that way. I
see marriage as a bond of life-long commitment and sharing responsibilities,
which enhances the success of both partners.
I know perfectly well what my wife has done for me in times of
difficulty, uncertainty and when sick. Like Florence Nightingale, she takes
care of me and does what I haven't even requested her to do. I have really
enjoyed a happy successful marriage over two decades, because both respect and
trust ourselves.
Thus; when my elder son said to me “Daddy I will be getting married
soon, I was engulfed with joy, knowing that he has made a good decision, a
decision which will keep him sincere, upright and responsible. He has already
visited me a couple of times with his girlfriend . It was hard to communicate
with her immediately on her first visit, but after some few visits, I had a
nice conversation with her.
My son at first thought I don't like his girlfriend, the fact that she
is white. “White, Black or Chinese doesn't matter to me but his happiness. He
travelled a month ago with his girlfriend to her country in Hungary to see her
parents and on November 22, 2014, they tied the knot.
I witnessed the happy marriage with my wife and Jesse's junior
brothers. I am very glad and wish them a happy successful marriage. Within no
time, I will be grandpa with ‘Cappuccino’ children around me.
