A Startling Approval!

I didn’t see it coming. Yup, I didn’t expect to see the ‘light’ after burrowing in the tunnels for over 5 years…

Rebecca and I have been together in a relationship for 5 years now. And after guessing and cautioning, we were shocked to catch a very direct hint of approval from Uncle John!

Both father and daughter met up for lunch this Wednesday afternoon and for the first time, it stunned Rebecca to hear such forth-coming words from her father! Uncle John was quite direct about this issue of considering a long-lasting and committed relationship between Rebecca and me.

It was quite startling as Uncle John dived straight into this topic over lunch, surprising Rebecca, who was initially trying to stay at the fringe of this sensitive topic. But thank God, Uncle John was very transparent about several issues such as choosing a flat, wedding, etc. Oh boy, am I truly glad that both father and daughter managed to talk about this in further detail over lunch! Finally! The door has been opened for discussion! I hope Aunty Molly is aware of this too. =)

I met up with Rebecca for dinner and she shared this with me. I was really glad to hear that and enthusiastic about what’s next to come. Now is the next step about discussions with Rebecca’s Dad, especially during the upcoming church camp. He will be bunking with me, so I hope it won’t be awkward. I’m not worried about snoring coz I don’t really snore… but I do have blocked nose when I sleep. Hmm…

When I sent Rebecca home, Uncle John invited me in to share about his plans about starting this new befriender ministry. What really shocked me was when I left the house, Uncle John actually stood at the main door and watched me walk off and even waved goodbye to me, when I turned around! Wow! First time! Usually it’s just Rebecca waving to me… Hee! Fresh experience! Hahahaha… It’s definitely a happy night! =)
