To My Beloved Grandpa

Dear Grandpa,

At last, I finish it grandpa…. I complete my competition until I reach the finish line today. I finish all of my assesments and they give a positive feed backs of all my work. I don’t know what grade that they will give to me, but I just pray that they will appreciate me. I just want you to proud of your granddaughter, even there are no one proud of me or my works.

Thank you for all of the inspirations that you give to me as a hardworking person, and you teach me not to give up. I know that you can see me up there, wherever and whenever you are, I miss you and grandma. You know what, when I felt alone and lonely, and almost give up, I always thinking about you as my inspirations. Thank you for teaching me to be a taft girl, and try to reach what I want without any fear. I try to be like you, always being humble, and start everything with prayers and hopes. And I know that eventhough we cannot make it today or even see it, someday, it might be come true. Even you cannot hold me along the isle on my wedding day, I know that your inspiration always walk with me along the day.

I work with a lot of limitations, Grandpa, but I can make it. I know that I have to work twice harder than everyone else, but it has make me learn about a lot of things. I learn to respect other people works like the way you do.

I still have a lot of dream about this life, and I don’t know how I am going to reach it. I only put my dream to walk together beside my faith and hope, and I believe that I will see each of them come true as everyday miracles in our life.

Thanks for everythings, Grandpa… I hope to go back home with proud and happiness. I miss you so much…

 

To my beloved Grandpa, ( The late ) Mr. Tan Hong Gwan , who left me forever on my 23rd birthday.
