It's Not Like I Didn't Think About It
But I had no Idea
It's not like I didn't think about it,
or that I had no reference point,
but the magnitude of the emotions
and the depth of my feelings for you
far exceed even my wildest imagination.
I'm so grateful to be your dad.
Thank you for showing me
what love means.

Camellia
piercing winter gloom camellia blooms softly such a lovely sight. In winter, in the arboretum and the yards in our region, camellias blooms. Camellia is a tea family plant with lovely flowers. In Japan, camellias have been painted very frequently. Here is one by me (watercolor).
