My father was a police officier before, he retired 30 years ago when meeting the retirment cretiria -- service for 30 years. when he retired, I was only a high school student; I remeber he alwasy have assignment at night and we had a gun in my parent's closet, sometimes, he will took business trip to Taipei, when returning from the trip, I always looking for the gift he bought to me -- toys, books etc. the flesh memory of father come home is the expection for gift.

I think this is a transmission of my hoping for " gift " at my office when ever I take leaves, this expecting and excitement become an unknown area in my heart, such as when walking my office after holidays, I will check the " In-coming staff " in the rack and unsealed the packages from all over the place, you can't really expecting gift at office, the tranformation is a greeting, letter or invitation card, something not direct related to " Business ", this is what I am hoping for when return to the office. I had this gusture for very long, to wirte it down and retrieve with my childhood and the gift from my father.

this is what " Gift " means to me and this is why whenever I receive gift on tranditional holidays in Taiwan, I seldome share it with my colleage, but to take them back to my family, I love to be the man who bring lots of gift home. a father figure and a hope to deliver forward.
