Happy Chinese Father's Day and Advance Happy Birthday

You understand me like your real daughter and you can see through my face if I am happy or hurt. You had pushed every limit to ensure that I get good education. You even showed me the essence of "living my life in the simpliest I can but ma

king the most of it".You have a big and kind heart and I have been in awe always on witnessing your generosity.

Your concern is behind my understanding. You had taught me to remain true to my words and always do good things in spite of uncertainties. Every time I felt so down, your email never fails to comfort me. "Gemma, I have no doubt you can make it"

Yeye, Happy Chinese Father's Day and Advance Happy Birthday. I miss you so much! I always pray that God will give you good health and enjoyable years ahead.

Thank you and i love you!

Happy Birthday

August 29 and 30

Words alone can't express how grateful I am. Just knowing you means a lot to me. I was drowning and you pulled me out from the ocean. You are a good friend, a one in a million friend. Your pure heart always shines even in the worst situation. Even provoked, you still managed to see the good things on that person. Even if humiliated, you still want to believe on the positive side. I've learned so many things from you and i will be forever thankful for all the good deeds you've shared. Thank you so much!

Happy Birthday! I wish you all the best because you deserve it. I am always here as a special friend. I am sorry for my shortcomings.

Again, Happy Birthday Lenon and Jay-Ann.

Happy Chinese Father's Day

Dear Yiyeh,

Happy Chinese Father’s Day!

In my life I never had a chance to meet my grandparents for they passed away before I could see the light. When I am still a child, I’ve envied my friends having to play with their grandparents, in my heart I longs for a person I can call grandpa. It didn’t occur to me that in foreign land I could find such man.

As we talked about my contract, the near is approaching. I’m not sure if I could go back and take care of you until your last breath. You always mentioned life will be miserable when I leave you, I feel the same way too. Perhaps it might be our last father’s day together and your last birthday that I am around. This one year, all the occasions might be our last but I am still hoping fate will intervene to change the course of what we are afraid to happen.

You are a great man. A man full of kindness and generosity towards the needs of others. In spite of the family status, you remain your feet in the ground for that i salute you. You taught me lessons, a handful lesson in life. I asked you once, "Yiyeh, do you believe in God? You answered me in firm voice NO. I was shocked to hear it from you, then you said I believe that everyone is created equal, that GOD is how you handle/live your life in accordance w/ your conscience and good deeds" Now, i fully understood what you were trying to say. Live a life not only to pleased God but because God is with me.

You're a generous man. I can't say thank you enough for all the help you showed me. You've changed my life.

I will be forever grateful for showing me concern and unconditional understanding in my shortcomings. For being a grandfather to me, for inspiring me to do what I love the most writing, for always sharing me your thoughts/wisdom that I could never learned in school. I will cherish the memories with you.

Yiyeh, you are a family. Thank you so much for everything.

Happy Birthday and Happy Father’s Day!
