HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADI!
Hi H.B.,
Since the last time I posted, Rich and I traveled through Europe in Italy, Portugal, Belgium and Netherlands. I think you must have been with us the entire time. Poor Zilla had to get surgery because she swallowed a plastic piece and it got stuck in her intenstines, but she recovered so quickly, I'm sure she had your blessings during surgery. I know if I could talk to you about Zilla's surgery, you would have given me the advice from when you had during your open hear surgery too. Her scar is so big, just like the one you had for your open heart surgery! She is brave and strong just like you, to go through a big surgery like that.
Momi went to Bali today for your birthday, I'm sure she brought lots of fruit, snacks and drinks for you and great-grandma and grandpa and granduncle. I will come to Bali in Dec/Jan when I go back to Taiwan. Momi and I are going to HK in Janaury - I will miss the times when all 3 of us used to go to HK and eat dim sum and walk around the city. I remember you always wake up early to find a good dim sum place and them come back to the hotel to take me and momi.
I still miss you so much and think about you everyday. Hard to believe that the last time I talked to you on the phone was 2 years ago! I love you.
Love,
your L.A. ;-)
forever.
I hope you are having a great birthday whereever you are right now! I wish I could've celebrated it with you, but I am doing so in my heart.

On 12/3, Thanks to Howard that he drove to Dadi's place so that we were able to presnt those fruits, snacks for him and relatives/friends who were also celebrating his western birthday in heaven, I believe.I wrote "Happy Birthday to HB" and from BI, TLA Rich(I forgot Zilla, next time we will put her name on) and Howard on The Redbag as well as the Money box we burned. I brought some of his old winter underwears and vest to burn along with the money box, thinking he would feel warmer.
Ya! I think his soul(s) has been with us no matter where we go. He must be happy too to know you will soon be in Taiwan and China. We will go to his place on 12/28 (close to his Chinese birthday? He always like to have 2nd birthday:).
Today I-Hsien's mother and Mr. Chen came to my home bringing in a whole pot of Chinese medicinal chicken soup. His Mom just had teeth pulled out yesterday so she can not eat herself, but she spent so much time to cook that soup. (I was supposed to treat them but never got chance.Now I have to wait for her teeth to be able to chew.) I was so touched. Then we were talking about Dadi: Mr. Chen said if his face was soft and pink after passing away tnen he must have gone to heaven. I told them that was exactly Dadi's case. They also said the same thing that Onion told me: At that time I shouldn't cry too hard, otherwise it made Dadi hard to leave for heaven.-Ya! I tried so hard not to cry that time. But it's not easy for me, even today I can not stop tearing, you know how easily my eyes release tears just by any thing/any movie touching.
On the day of senior club dinner, I found out Dr. Chen (our old senior welfare Dept. chairman),we were singing happy birthday to him and he said his birthday is actually on 12/3 of farmer calender. I realized that day was Dadi's real farmer calender birthday: two days after you left for NYC. But I think he always with us. We went to his place before you went to Shang-Hai. Also I got the flower booming pictures next to the living room after you went to HK.
