Dear Aae
I miss your presence so much. I miss talking to you over phone for long hours. I am slightly relieved that you wont be asking me when will I get married because I did already, I still have doubts though as if you are asking for a grandchild now from heaven. I feel your presence everyday. I know you are definitely a flower a soft and delicate one with beautiful fragrance, all your life you harvested honey , milk ,baked cooked delicious meals , I am a product of you. You showed

Dear Judith and Yohaira,
**Bienvenida al otoño** Querídisimas Judith y Yohaira de Collins Con una delicadeza casi imperceptible, el otoño ha decidido visitarnos una vez más, cubriendo los días con una melancolía suave y un aire de reflexión que difícilmente puede ignorarse. Las hojas, antes orgullosas en su verdor, ahora descienden con elegante resignación, como si comprendieran mejor que nosotros el arte de soltar. No puedo evitar encontrar en esta estación un encanto particular: ni la exuberancia d

Dear Anyone,
The first time I met you was through a screen. I didn’t see you in person until I was 12. Every other year, we would fly back, collect red envelopes, and eat dinner together. Back then, it didn’t feel very significant to me. As the years passed, we started visiting more often. I didn’t understand why at the time, but it was because your health was getting worse.

Dear Grandpa,
My grandpa was the most amazing man I have ever known. He passed away a few years ago, shortly after my grandma, and the heartbreak of losing them both is something I will always carry with me.

Dear younger me,
I wish you could’ve understood sooner that the future is too unpredictable, what was happening wasn’t your fault. Everything may have felt confusing and messed up at first, obviously, you probably felt as if something was wrong or off.

I bet one of the hardest

Dear Kao Po(great aunt),
I love you so much. Although I don't see you often and didn't grow up seeing you more than a few times a year, whenever we did see each other, it just felt so right. You are one of the sweetest and kindest women I know, and your smile and laugh lights up the room. I miss you. When memory loss first started, it didn't feel so bad, because when you saw me you still knew who I was. I know this because you always told me the same thing: "Oh! 你比我高!" Or, "You're taller than me!". E
