Day 11 - a deceased person you wish you could talk to

Day 11 - a deceased person you wish you could talk to


Dear great grand aunt,

I'm so sorry that you had to die. I wish i was a bigger part of your life and you'll never know how grateful i was for you taking care of me when the rest of the family was playing mah jong. I wish i could've talked to you more, but considering we had a language barrier between us (you spoke Vietnamese and i only knew English and Cantonese), it was hard to communicate. But even so, i always knew what you were asking and i could tell that even though i didn't talk to you very much, you still loved me like family and that i had a special place in your heart. I admire you for being such a faithful wife to great grand uncle. I'm sorry that i didn't think more of you on the day of your funeral. I was young and naive back then and now that i truly understand what it means for someone to be really 'gone', i regret not paying better respects to you.

My prayers go out to you great grand auntie. Rest in peace.

Forever,
Patricia Wong
