just hello

hi dadi, just wanted to say hello and tell you that i still miss you everyday. i've been so busy with work that i haven't had time to update the blog but i'm sure you hear my thoughts in my head all the time.

i was recently thinking about how you once took me and my friends into the city for my birthday (i think i was 7 years old) and we had so much fun. you took us to FAO Schwartz and Central Park! so whenever i walk around 59th street, i think of you.

also i remember you and momi telling me the story of how momi put my in the backseat of the car when i was a little baby, and then when she closed the door, you drove away by mistake! you thought she was already in the car. then you finally realized she was missing and turned back. funny.

then there are more recent times, like when i lived in SF for the summer and you and momi came to visit. and then you found out my landlord was your friend from before (because you always know so many people) and because you went to go talk to him, he gave me my deposit back earlier (or something like that). somehow you always know so many people or find ways to become friends with everyone around you, because you are always so funny and friendly and nice to them. i like to think that i learned that from you too!

i'll be traveling back to taiwan in May so i will come visit your resting place in bali. until then, you are in my thoughts literally everyday so you can just read my mind! :)

love you dadi and always will.
