It’s no secret that Fann Wong and Christopher Lee really, really, dote on their only son Zed.

The cheerful and rambunctious six-year-old is a frequent face on their social media accounts and as Fann mentioned in this 8days.sg interview, Zed accompanies his mum and dad everywhere they go.

These days, however, with Chris in Taiwan for work, it’s just Fann and Zed for now.

Not that they’re not having fun, though. Earlier this week, mother and son headed out on a yacht trip to Pulau Hantu ( ‘cos no overseas leisure travel, remember?), where they engaged in a variety of sea-faring activities, from swimming, to kayaking and of course, watching the sunset together.

And it was probably on this very same trip, where a sentimental Fann penned this super touching message, dedicated to the most important man in her life. (Sorry Chris, but Zed does come before you to Fann.)

To my dear baby,

Hi, baby
‘Cos of you, Mama thinks that the world is so beautiful
I really want to see you grow up quickly
To go to school, graduate, start working, get married, and have kids
With the simple happiness that so many people experience,
What kind of occupation would you pursue,
A scientist, a lawyer, an astronaut [or] a painter,
Or would you become an actor, just like your dad and I
Regardless of what you’ll become, as long as you’re full of dreams and happiness.
[But] I also hope for you to grow up slowly,
To be able to have more pause in the carefree days of your childhood,
With no worries, and an innocent smile,
With our large hands holding your small hands,
From dusk till dawn
Mama will teach you, to become more familiar with this wondrous world,
Thank you, baby,
For allowing me to become a mother,
Thank you, baby,
For healing [me] with your beauty,
Thank you, baby,
‘Cos of you, Mama always has the courage to brave the winds and the waves

And as it turns out, we were not the only ones who were moved by the 49-year-old’s words. Many of Fann's followers and colleagues left comments to gush.

Like Jeffrey Xu, who wrote: “There’s nothing more heartwarming than the fact that Zed has the support and company of his parents as he continues to grow up! [Fann], you’re really great!”
