More Sad News





On behalf of Moon, I'm really very sorry to have to let you know that her 77 years old maternal grandmother passed away this morning, also from cancer.

Moon was especially close to her grandmother, who had shown a lot of kindness and love to her during her life. This is a very difficult time for her particularly made more so by the fact that she cannot come back in time to Hanoi to make the funeral which will take place on Friday morning. In strange irony this is the same day as my sister's funeral here in the UK.

When Moon and I visited her in Vietnam on several occasions, she always showed much kindness, shared very caring words and never failed to wish the best for our lives together. Moon's grandmother was in our eyes a really very special person indeed.

We will miss her very deeply.

I'm sorry to have to write on such a sad subject but these events happen and cannot be avoided. I'm sure that next week as we return to Shanghai and attempt to return to our normal everyday life, I will find heartier and happier things to blog about.

Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

When you love s.o, you don't think some day, she will leave you forever. But when that day comes, you don't believe the truth, you wish it's a nightmare, and you even think she's still by your side.It's so hard to accept the truth. But she always in your heart, you love her, and she alway loves you.
