Dear Kung Kung,My earliest and fondest memories of you is when you always gave me a big hug whenever I went over to visit you. I use to do that so often didn't I? I remembered you always told me that I was pretty and that I was a good kid. I remember you teasing about me putting on weight and that I should go on a diet so I'll look prettier. I remember watching homevideos of you fitting me in that prickly orange dress, beaming at me proudly as I waddle my way to my mother. You never failed to greet me with that warm smile whenever I visit you. I love the way your eyes always lit up when you see me, and the way you call my name in your very endearing China man way. I love the way you're always so concern about us although you're such a busy man. I love the way you never failed to care for each grandchildren eventhough you have so so so many. I love the way you always walk on stage in that perfect posture of yours. I love the way you lecture us for having "no minor" when you teach us about minding our manners.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for not visiting you for so long. I can't even remember the last time I saw you. I think it was Christmas. I'm sorry I was the only one who failed to attend your birthday party a week ago. I'm sorry that I made such a horrible decision. But you were planning your 88th grand birthday party in August and I never thought that it would not happen. I thought you were invincible. I never thought that you would be gone. I never thought that I would never see or talk or hug you again. And now all I can do is enter the bar room and stare at that chair that you always sat at, thinking that I will never see you there. I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry that I took you for granted, thinking that you will always be around.
If I have not any regret in my life before, this is my first one. I regret not attending your birthday party. I regret not being a better grandchild. I regret not telling you that I love you and that I appreciate all that you have done for us. I regret not telling you what a great man you are. I regret.
I am so proud to be your grandchild. I have always been. You were a great man. You did things that were impossible. You left behind a legacy that I will always look up to. You dedicated your entire life to making it big and providing for your family. You've single handedly provided for ALL of us. I cannot thank you enough.
You will always be my hero. And I will make you proud one day, wherever you are. I will make you proud.
I hope you're happy and you're well and I know you're in a good place.
We'll meet again someday.
the things you are, the things you never want to lose."
Be strong, Amy.

: 4:11 PMBut i'm terribly sorry at the same time. I feel your lost and your pain. I never grew up knowing my grandfather. I can only imagine what it will feels like right know. And i laughed at the "no minor" bit! :-)
I'm sure that your grandfather is in a better place. I hope sincerely that you and your family will get through this tough period with each passing moment. Treasure the memories, and be happy that your grandfather spent his 88 years on Earth being who he is.
Celebrate his life, not his death.
My sincerest condolences,
Shean
