[Trending Now] Father Shares The Reason Why He Isn't Searching For His Missing Son. Find out the Heartbreaking Reason Here!

Our family is the most precious gift that God has given to us. Family will always be a family even though there will be rough times. Misunderstandings are inevitable but in the end, we still run to the family we have when we have no one to run to. 

Recently, a Malaysian father became trending on social media for his love for his long-lost son. William Cheah wrote on his Facebook account a photo of his son and captioned the reason why he did not look for son for a long time. 

“His name is Cheah Joshua. This is the only photograph I have of him, taken when he was around 3 years old. I do wonder what he looks like now and whether he is as naughty as I was at this age. That was the age when I had my first girlfriend… haha. 

“It’s funny how our memories work. When I see a caterpillar, I recall the time when he squished one in his hand and showed it to his kindergarten teachers and they all ran away squealing. Or when I walk at Gurney Plaza, I recall the time when I had to change his diapers at the diaper room. Sometimes when I drive past Bukit Jambul, I feel so much like driving up to his old kindy and see if the place is still there or if any of the old teachers are there still. Funny how memories are like,” William said on his post.

“His mum and I married young. One of those things young people do that becomes a mistake due to youth. We had an amicable divorce actually. Even held hands when we were at the court,” he stated in an interview with World of Buzz.

“So I usually sneaked to visit him at the kindergarten every evening at 4PM and spend about 2 hours there before his mum picked him up. “Every time I went there, he would be at the door, calling out excitedly, ‘daddy, daddy!’ in his little man voice. And it became a ritual for me to carry him in my arms and take a walk around the block. Looking at dogs in the area and calling out ‘woo woo’, holding him up to reach for the leaves in the low hanging branches. Simple things I remember but I doubt that he does anymore. Nothing special at all actually, but it was all I had, and those memories remain.” 

Eventually, his ex-wife flew to Canada with their son and her new partner without telling him. She was worried it would be hard for their kid to leave his dad if he let him knew. 

William said he understood that as she might be afraid he won’t let it happen. He also said he regrets not having a chance to bid goodbye to his son. 

“When I found out..I was full of anger and hatred. And over the years…there is no hatred left. Just acceptance. I wish her well. Some friends asked me why I do not try to look for him. Don’t think I haven’t thought of that countless times. But I wouldn’t want to disrupt his life now. Or hers,” he stated. 

Before he finally settlesd down for the right and wonderful woman he is living with now, William had gone through ups and down.

“She knows where to find me if she wanted to let him know. Penang is really a small place and my family isn’t really that hard to find. I would rather it be on willing terms than in confrontation,” William to his ex-wife if she has plans of letting their son see him.

William has no plans of seeing his son yet until he reaches the legal age which will happen on July 21, 2018. 

“And I will keep this photo in my wallet till then. Even though I’ve changed my wallet countless times,” he concluded.

Isn’t it a touching story of a father? How did you feel about it? Let us know!
