The HappyKidz of Family Tan




    


This is a letter addressed to all children,
who may or may not have read "Alice in Wonderland"

Dear Child,

Please to fancy, if you can, that you are reading a real letter, from a real friend whom you have seen, and whose voice you can seem to hear wishing you, as I do now with all my heart, a Happy Easter!

Do you know that delicious dreamy feeling when one first wakes on a summer morning, with the twitter of birds in the air, and the fresh breeze coming in at the open window -- when, lying lazily with eyes half-shut, one sees as in a dream green boughs waving, or waters rippling in a golden light? It is a pleasure very near to sadness, bringing tears to one's eyes like a beautiful picture or poem.  And is not that a Mother's gentle hand that undraws your curtains, and a Mother's sweet voice that summons you to rise? To rise and forget, in the bright sunlight, the ugly dreams that frightened you so when all was dark - to rise and enjoy another happy day, first kneeling to thank that unseen Friend, who sends you the beautiful sun?

The Easter sun will rise on you, dear child, feeling your 'life in every limb', and eager to rush out into the fresh morning air - and many an Easter-day will come and go, before it finds you feeble and gray-headed, creeping wearily out to bask once more in the sunlight - but it is good, even now, to think sometmes of that great morning when the 'Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings'. 

 Surely your gladness need not be the less for the thought that you will one day see a brighter dawn than this  - when lovelier sights will meet your eyes than any waving trees or rippling waters - when angel-hands shall undraw your curtains, and sweeter tones than ever loving Mother breathed shall wake you to a new and glorious day - and when all the sadness, and the sin, that darkened life on this little earth, shall be forgotten like the dreams of a night that is past!

Your affectionate friend,
LEWIS CARROLL
Easter, 1876




                                   
                           
     Warren Golf & Country Club at Choa Chu Kang is a place for golf 
and walking in the early morning for exercise, 
as well as relaxing at the terrace after a meal with friends.


                                   
    This is a page about the family prior to his arrival, so the youngest 
    has now joined as a junior golfing member .....

and this is the reason the head of the family took early retirement
