Thanks for the memories

MY nephew Bryan Chiel Yee Hao (pic) read the following letter on his flight to New York last August. It was written by his mother, Amy Fun, my sister.


My dear Bryan,

What better gift to give you than a heartfelt letter spun from the inner recesses of my heart? On top of that, this note is written with great sentiment as I’m using the Sheaffer your dad bought for me more than 20 years ago.

And I’m writing to my son who will be leaving the nest a day from now to a faraway land. I shall be careful not to let any teardrop smudge any of these pages, which are written in ink. That’s what style’s all about, yeah?

Thank you ... for the cheer you bring with your presence
Thank you for always holding my hand when we walk and talk
Thank you for the random disagreements concerning our personal viewpoints and the better understanding that arises out of these
Thank you for being you.
Thank you for walking this Kuan Yin Path alongside me in your own quiet way
Thank you for showing me your strength in the silence that you hold in pursuing your dreams
Thank you for the belief in yourself when all else fails within.
Thank you for introducing me to Youtube to revisit songs from days of yore
Thank you for appreciating the many things beyond your age
Thank you for your helping hand in our household chores
Thank you for taking pride in making the altar bright
Thank you, above all, for your myriad unassuming ways.
Thank you for choosing to be my son in this lifetime
Thank you for bonding so well with your Pa the way you do
Thank you for respecting and loving the elderly
Thank you for sharing with me your first love and first heartbreak, too.
“Thank you” seems too simple a word to use for you, Bryan
Thank you for your fine examples in living life
Thank you for having an observant eye
Thank you for wanting to repay society someday
Thank you for acknowledging Divine Grace in a sincere way.
Son, simply, thank you for your existence.
