dear fat

The luckiest thing in my life is to meet you,

Those you silently sacrificed for me,

Day or night

No matter how cold or hot

Pick me up to work overtime in the early morning and play games alone in the car

Make soup for me in dog days until we get heatstroke together

Tolerate all the careless mistakes I've made

Tolerate all my petty temper

everything you did for me

made me

encouraged me

comfort me

Our ordinary little family

In this way, we have experienced countless years, snuggling with each other and being happy together

Until the last moment of our life together

We all accompany each other

simple

good

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • Ethel Briggs: I could have married a deep-sea diver.

    Ernest Briggs: Well, why didn't ya?

    Ethel Briggs: Because I didn't love him.

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
