Dear Chris：  我们的宝贝孙子！
你好吗？今天是您的22岁生日，祝你生日快乐！奶奶因为今天要上班，所以我们三人（您的爸爸妈妈和我）在前天就去您那里探望太婆婆和您，我给你准备的是白色康乃馨，给太婆婆带去的是粉红色康乃馨，我和公公征得您父母的同意，邀请您和我们同住我们的“新家”，现在您先入住，公公奶奶日后就来陪你，您的父母就在我们隔壁，所以将来我们会团聚一起，而由我们的Eric来照顾我们大家，你看如此安排可好？你知道我们有多么的想念您，每时每刻的想念，奶奶总觉得您一直就在我们身边，在公公病重住院时，奶奶每天来往于医院，诊所，家中，但是在忙中特别感觉到，您就在我们身边，在给我们加添力量，谢谢您！我们的宝贝！回想22年前的今天，您出生在纽约的Beth Israel Medical Center，是Dr Betty Iu 把你平安的带到这个世界，当时在Lab-Deliver Room有Dr Iu的得力助手Mrs Mak 在侧帮忙，她参与和见证了您和Eric的出生，并且给了极大的帮助，在您出生的那一刻，还有您父母的好友，Aunt Margaret 和Uncle Michael在产房外，等待您的到来，Dr Iu是纽约有名的华裔OB-GYN女医生，她是香港医科大学毕业，英国留学，美国考牌的著名妇产科女医生，在纽约华裔医务界很有名气，奶奶有幸就在她的诊所工作，一直到她退休，这次她得知您意外离开，她并同家人一同前往参加您的告别仪式，亲爱的Chris，再次祝你生日快乐！我们下次再谈！

永远爱您的
公公，奶奶， 

You are 22 today!  How time flies.  We miss you so very much everyday.  Hope you are doing great up there.

So many tragedies this past year.  Your childhood friend Miles lost his life in a car accident.  Eric's friend Paul Kim has also left us.  So young and so sudden.  Our prayers and thoughts are with their families.

Eric is doing great at school.  He got elected as the Treasurer of his fraternity.  One more year and he will be graduated.

Gon Gon's health is not we would liked to see.  Neinei is working so hard to take care of him.  We hope he gets better soon.

Jonathan will be going to college next year.  He grew so big and tall. 

Mom and I are doing well.  We spent half a year apart but things are going well.  I hope she can come visit me in Shanghai next year.

I am still staying at Room 908, where I got the news and spent the absolute worst day in my life there.  My office is still there so I can feel your presence all the time.

Minx is doing well too.  He misses you very much also.

Happy birthday, our boy!  We will light a candle next Saturday.  Rest in peace!

As much as we all miss Chris' presence we are comforted knowing that he must be surrounded now by Angels holding lit-up candles and singing Happy Birthday while God and Jesus are nodding and smiling at him fondly.

Chris is a privileged young man whose schoolmates, friends and relatives not only miss him but will always retain abundant love for him.
