The van pulled away from the front entrance late Sunday evening. I returned to the apartment, already feeling a great sense of loss.
How can I adequately express what you both did for us this year as our next-door neighbors.
Chye, you:
translated for us
bargained for us
made sure we didn't over-pay for anything
helped us order food
shared our taxi expenses every Sunday for our cab fare to church
engaged us with stories of your youth in Malaysia and your family's ties to China
Ruth, you:
taught me about patience as I observed you on a daily basis
always had a smile whatever the circumstances
were a willing partner for any adventure
You are going back to Indiana, we will leave soon for Utah...will our paths ever cross again?
Oh, how I will miss you both!
Here we are in old USA. Nice and cool in the house. but the heat is intense outside. It is NOT humid. Missing you guys. Will write later, the kids are pulling grandpa to go swimming.
