Life on sea!

My deepest memories lay far back in time when i was a little kid, the time when i travelled with mom and dad in the ship.
My dad is a merchany officer, the captain of cargo ships, i think i sailed on my first ship when i was 3 mnths old, that is what my mom said, i was sailing with my dad till the age of 7-8 years, till they decided that schooling was also an imp key for me.
I still remember the amt of fun i had there, even though there werent many families stayin with us, me my mommy and dad formed happiest little herd there.
I sat on the dads shoulder an went to the officers smoke room an chilled, a room where there was a tv an a pantry.
I always hanged from my dads desk in the navigation room, and my dad never got annoyed with that.
Since my moms only possible an best companion would be me apart from dad, me and mom did a lot of things to pass our time, we had chocolate eating competitions,knocking officers cap an running off etc etc.
We all loved to stand on the bridge, i guess that was the most amazing part of the ship, the bridge, i still remember, one day dad got off work early and we went on the bridge for a perfect evening, and it indeed was the journey from malaysia to london had pretty dolphins jumping at the neck of our ship.
I had thought this is life, water everywhere, yummy seafood from the chef uncle, we stop by land for a small vacation and that is it.
but little did i know those where the fairy tale moment of my life, where i thought my mom had nothing else to do but play with me, my dad would always stay around me, one day we landed on the land and i went jumping around free spaces, hugging every dog i saw on the way. I enjoyed dogs and free spaces on land, but for my vacation. That day was different dad said from now we will stay here, "this is our new home" my mom murmured, and since then everything changed!
