Pad Thai with prawns is my family's favorite dish. My father always took me and my two sisters to eat this dish when we were kids. Since my father passed away we have been very busy with our lives,so we did not have a chance to eat Pud Thai together. We missed this special comfort food from our childhood.

One day after learning from school, I decided to make Pad Thai for my family. It brought back found recollections for my youngest sister because she loved this dish and she felt that Pad Thai could bring our family to be together. My sister said " We did not have time together like this for such a long time" She wrote on her Facebook about how happy she was that we had time together (and she really enjoyed this Pad Thai recipe!). She said "it was the most delicious Pad Thai in the world"

After I finished reading her writing. I realized how hard I had been working and at the time thinking that my job is the the most important thing. But I realized that I did not spend as much time as I should with my family. Therefore, I decided to spend time with them on the weekends from that time onward.

I just want to say thank you to Pad Thai :)
