In Memory of My Loving Grandmother, My grandmother will always be a part of my life, having raised me and taken care of me since the day I was born. She was not only my grandmother, but one of my best friends who I literally shared everything with. I am proud to say that even when I was in college and currently in graduate school out of state, I was able to call her multiple times a week to have a casual conversation with her and share my experiences in school and my concerns with her. I remember speaking to her two days before she was struck with the stroke, she was happy and cheerful and jokingly telling me to treat her out to dinner and taking care of her when I graduate from school, which I always wanted to do. This is the one thing I truly regret that I won’t be able to do. I will always be saddened knowing how I will never be able to do that for her but I will be happy knowing I was able to spend so much time with my grandmother, my best friend, my motivator when she was healthy whenever I can. She was always very understanding and compassionate towards others and she spoiled me like no other. I will always remember all the good times with her. She is one of the very reasons why I am, who I am, what I am, and even where I am today. As of right now, I am a pharmacy student on rotations at a coumadin clinic, working with clinical pharmacists to help prevent strokes, heart attacks in patients who have had a previous stroke, heart attack, atrial fibrillation (more prone to future strokes, heat attacks, etc). She is the reason why I picked this rotation; so I am more knowledgeable in this disease state to better help patients when I am a pharmacist. She is and will always be my motivation to work hard everyday of my life and do the best I can in everything that I do. Even though you have passed away, you will always be in my heart grandma. Love, Timothy Szeto

In Memory of My Aunt Pui A few days ago, my mom called me to let me know that my aunt had passed away late evening of March 18, 2014. I can?t say my heart was shattered into a million pieces. But I was saddened. Sadden that a light has gone out, sadden in knowing the unbearable pain my uncle and cousins must be bearing. My cousins lost their mother and my uncle lost his wife. I could honestly say I knew the pain and loss they are all feeling for I had lost my father. The little that I knew of Aunt Pui, I knew she was born in a small village in China. She was educated, she was a school teacher in the village, and she played a Chinese traditional instrument called ?Young Ching?. She married my uncle sixty six years ago, and they have five children. Her fate was very much tied to China?s culture revolution. Her husband (my uncle) was not allow to leave China to join her in Hong Kong, so she was left along to rise their five children by herself for many years. From conversations with family, I know aunt was a private, self-contained person. She was kind, gentle, sensitive and sympathetic. As I think of my Aunt Pui, I think of her generosity. Before my family immigrated to Untied States, my mom and my siblings were in Hong Kong for many months waiting for my father. Knowing we didn?t have a place to stay or means of living, she graciously extended her help. She welcomed us into her home. As cousins & elders in the family will tell you, I and my siblings were not the best mannered or best behaved children. We were loud, augmentative, restless, and sometimes combatant. But she putted up with us and loved us like family. For that I am and will be forever grateful. As I grew up, got married, living several hundred miles apart, I didn?t see Aunt Pui much except on two occasions. I realize that there are a lot of things I never got to know about Aunt Pui?s life. But that does not stop the sad feeling of another chunk of my world had slipped away and when I speak of her now is forever in past tense. Grieving through the death of my father, I have taken the time to sit and think about what he meant to me, how he impacted my life and choices I made. You read and hear stories about people, before death, said that they would not be missed and that they had not really accomplished anything or made a difference in life. I disagree with this. People touch others? lives in so many different ways without knowing it. I know this is true my Aunt Pui. She touched my life, the life of her husband, children, and grandchildren. She was a lady of love, compassion and tradition. Good bye my dear Aunt! You will be missed, and God speed. Niece Josephine Li
