2 years passed by like it was nothing. I still remember everything like it was yesterday. You were shocked when you found out the results; the whole family was, too. No one could explain it. No one could explain how you had breast cancer. No one knew what to do. We were speechless, and that’s when devastation hit. Knowing that the most beautiful, caring girl will soon be taken away from our lives.

I am so grateful to have had you in my life. We shared endless tons of memories. Each one is captivated in my heart: locked and sealed. I miss those times when you use to pick my brother and I up to go eat. Even when you were having enough troubles in your life already. I miss when you gave me great advices when I was having troubles with the girls. I miss how you like to help me pick the best outfits that would suit me most. I miss how you like to force me to eat every grain of rice left in my bowl. I miss how the cousins would hang out every now and then to catch up with each others lives. It’s not the same without you. I miss you.

I wish you were still here to help me with my current situations and infatuation problem. I wish you were still here, so you would be able to attend my Grad Ceremony. I am the next boy up in the family to graduate, and I wanted you to be there for me before you passed away. But I know, you will be there in my heart, my mind, and in the sky, looking down upon me. I know you gave it your best to stay, and I am not mad one bit. You deserve to be happy, and pain free.

You’re on my mind constantly. There’s no reason for me to forget you. I will come visit you very soon with the rest of the family. Just you wait. Have a very Merry Christmas up there. I miss and love you with my entire heart.

Rest in Paradise, Yvonne Jiang.
