Keep healthy

I haven't been out lately. I've been just studying and meeting with my dad. Today, though, I went out to eat with my dad and my cousin since my dad is here only for a few days. He's leaving tomorrow night to go back to Taiwan. I'm genuinely concerned about my dad's health at the moment. I'm going to take a moment tonight to blog about it. If you don't want to read it, stop now. It's going to be a long boring entry about me and my thoughts that I feel I need to get down on paper (in this case, blogging).

Despite what I say about my dad at times, I do love him very much. I can't help but be worried about his health at the present moment because of his lifestyle. He works from morning till night. He doesn't exercise. He's not that happy. His health is deteriorating, and at the present moment, I feel like he's not going to make it past the next two years if he keeps on going like this. He just turned 61, and I want him to be around for many more years to come. Actually, every time I see him, it makes me so sad to see him in this condition. I always feel like he's working himself to death. From the moment he wakes up till the moment he goes to bed, he's always working. He doesn't stop to take breaks or go exercise. He just sits at the computer working away. Even my cousin was saying that he really should quit this lifestyle because it's just asking for an early death. I want him to be around when I get married, have kids, see his grandkids. It's very important to me that he be part of their lives. He even said that when he retires, that he wants me to take him around Japan, which I will be very happy to do, but I don't think at the present moment, that he'll make it that far. Actually, tonight at dinner, my cousin and I talked to my dad about his health. I think 90% of the conversation was about his health. I do hope that he took the things I said to heart. I know how important it is to keep healthy. I've suffered for about a year with my illness. I can only pray that he finally does something to starting getting himself fit. I love him so much. I love you, Daddy.
