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!". Even though I had been taller than you for years, it was okay. You would bend down lower, then I'd bend down lower, then we'd laugh and hug. You may have forgotten my name, but that was our routine, every time, done only between us.

Now, I meet you for the first time, every time. Sometimes you remember me a little bit more, and every time, you still give me a hug and a smile. I hope that never changes, because in the moments where we hug everything feels the same as it used to be. I hope that one day, when I see you, you don't look at me like a complete stranger. I hope we can still hug.


Love,

HC
