A Priceless Gift
Words of life, words of joy, words of love, words of encouragement for a young lady.
When I left Malaysia over 30 years ago at age 15 to study in Australia, my father slipped a slim booklet into my hands as I, his only child, said goodbye to him at the airport. It was his gift to me for the journey ahead, a collection of brief, one-page reflections he had written on topics like studies, money, relationships, girlfriends and the like. I still have that booklet; it is the one thing I have that is truly, in every sense of the word, priceless.
So, when the time came for my eldest daughter to go abroad for her studies, I knew I wanted to gift her with the same thing: to give her words of life, love and blessing; not just from me but from the whole family. I also knew that the most effective way to reach my Gen Z daughter would be to do it as a video. To that end, Kenneth, the founder of Legacy-Ark, produced five beautiful videos, each featuring a different member of our family - mum, twin sisters, grandpa, grandma, and myself - and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The videos captured not only what each of us wanted to say to my eldest girl but, perhaps even more importantly, all the tenderness, warmth, affection, and love we feel for her.
I trust that these videos will be a blessing and faithful companion for her, now and for a long time to come, as my dad’s little booklet has been for me.
