Remembering my beloved dad

Today marks 20 years since my dad left us.
It’s comforting to know that
when it comes to the love and bond
between a father and his daughter,
there is no expiration date.
And his love and his spirit
will continue to live and linger on,
in my thoughts,
in my heart and
in my life.
Me and my dad on my first birthday!
β€œSay not in grief β€˜he is no more β€˜ but in thankfulness that he was.” – Hebrew Proverb

New Year’s Eve Prayer (Λ˜ΚƒΖͺ˘)

~Irish Prayer~
For every storm a rainbow,
for every tear a smile,
for every care a promise,
and a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share,
for every sigh a sweet song,
and an answer for each prayer.

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.

Christmas cake

“The ultimate in longevity is the Christmas fruitcake.
It is a cake made during the holidays with fruits
that make it heavier than the stove it is cooked in.”
