Happy Birthday and In Remembrance

Dear Dadi,

I want to wish you a happy birthday, you would be 65 years old this year. It's been 5 years since I've seen you but I still think about you everyday, I feel your influence and spirit around me everyday. Next year we may be moving to Shanghai which is exactly what you always thought would happen eventually. How did you know??

It is almost Christmas and I had this memory of when you were working in Shenzhen and momi and I would visit you there -- one time we went to your company's holiday party and taught them all how to sing American Christmas songs. And the funniest part was they all sung the songs in funny accents, like "Jingulu Bellus, Jingulu Bellus..." I remember you, me and momi laughed about that a lot!

Love you dadi. Miss you always!

We used to make fun of Dadi:he liked to celebrate his 12/3 birthday on both western calender and farmer calenders. After Onion taught me about farmer calender, now I know how to find out Dadi's real birthday. This time his birthday will be 1/6/2011(12/3 of farmer calender) which normally has 1 month lag behind farmer calender. So when Dadi past away he did not pass his 60 years fully. And he should be a talented capricorn, not Sagttarius that we used to think.

I found something about Capricorn on line:-------
The sign Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. Capricorn are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.

Capricorn make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricorn are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously.----------
That's true that he puts his families before his own needs and welfare.
