LAO HERO,

ninty-two years was a long journey for anyone to go through, but you made it. you've always been this special person, wholesome and strong. you were tasked with being the head of us all, i could never ask for someone else better.

no one would have done it better than you did.

you made our imperfections seem flawless. you teach us to persevere and keep the faith. you've always said God doesnt deny us from our prayers, he is merely just trying to test the limit that we are willing to fork out for what we've asked for. he wants us to earn it you see, bcos by doing so, the success tastes sweeter.

i admire your bravery. the courage you have to see you through putting all your hopes and dreams in the hands of the man above is just unfathomable. hats off to you, sir.

dont worry about the rest of us. we'll be good. and grandma will be fine. she is as strong as you, and thats good enough an example for us to follow through this period of internal turmoil. (and shit).

i'll make extra sure no one bullies her behind your back ok. (though i know you've already got that covered.)

haha.

i miss you already, oldman. and that sucks. like a whole lot.

but you're in a better place now. a place without a whole lot of ugly that earth has in store. soon enough, someday i'll still see you again. and when the time comes, i expect to see you healthy, fit and really really good-looking. haha.

and we'll play chinese chess then! i'll up my game for sure. winning you once really isnt enough!

so take care! say hi to paradise for me.

...

i love you very much grandpa. i hope you know it.

(i'm not just saying it because its 040508. i really really do!)

dont miss us much! (:
