A rose for my beloved aunt

I picked a beautiful rose for you, Aunt Ying…
and I took a stroll down memory lane;
Memories of you have walked
beside me for four years,
and they have constantly filled
my heart with gladness;
I’m forever thankful
for this priceless treasure.
Today, in your honor
I celebrate life,
and think of you with
love, gratitude and fondness.
“Memories and thoughts age, just as people do, But certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade.” – Haruki Murakami

not in another place but this place,
not for another hour but this hour.”

Merry Christmas! ᒄ₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎ᒃ♪♬

“Have yourself a meowy little Christmas!”[www.pinterest.com]
My wishes for you this Christmas…
May your home be warm and
smell a lot like Christmas;
May your Christmas tree light up,
stockings everywhere stuffed
with yummy treats and
surrounded by lots of furry friends.
May your heart be merry and
light as a snowflake;
May all your troubles melt away like snow;
May you always be as happy as Olaf,
the friendliest snowman;
May you have everything that you need
and love everyone that you give.
I pray the love of all those around you
fills your Christmas with overflowing
warmth, joy, smiles and laughter and
may you cherish and honor each other
in all that you do.
Wishing you and loved ones
all the heartwarming blessings of Christmas
from my home to yours!
Christmas hug! [www.pinterest.com]

Quote of the day – Rupi Kaur

“most importantly love
like it’s the only thing you know how
at the end of the day all this
means nothing
this page
where you’re sitting
your degree
your job
the money
nothing even matters
except love and human connection
who you loved
and how deeply you loved them
how you touched the people around you
and how much you gave them”
Rupi Kaur, Milk & Honey
