Dearest Aunt Ying
As I write this letter to you, my heart is filled with love.
Three years had passed but the memory of you still warms my heart.
You often spoke about the importance of family.
I believe the Christmas lunch party which you organized each year was your way of keeping the family together.
And I’m glad your daughters have kept this tradition going.
You once told me that my presence is more important than the presents under the Christmas tree.
I came, Aunt Ying on Christmas day though I was  a little late.
I felt your presence when I was in your home.
Your presence is felt on every floor tiles, the walls and the lights.
Your voice still echoed throughevery room and hallway.
And I hear you still.
You were simple yet elegant.
And you enjoyed the simple things in life, one who cared not about status or luxury though you were blessed with a very comfortable life.  
You were connected with nature through your love for gardening.
You need no wi-fi cos you had found the best connection in the beauty of your garden.
I had enjoyed those times just having tea and chatting  with you in your living room.
I miss your wit and your wisdom.
I know you’re at peace now, Aunt Ying resting in the arms of our dear Lord.
And we shall meet again one day on the other side of the stars.
Much love, Pat ♥️
the cousins

one big family

  2. My dear Pat,

    Your love for your Aunt can be deeply felt in your words like overflowing gratitude, an evergreen tree planted in your heart to remember her and her words. Loved it how you wrote it, my friend 🙂 You took me by your hands and made a walk in the past with me to see the light of your Aunt shinging like a beautiful star. Thank, my dear friend 🙂
    Love and hugs to you
    Didi
