Alex will always be cherished in our hearts, eternally missed. Today marks his birthday, a day we hold dear in our memories. Over the past few years, I've occasionally dreamt of conversing with him as if he were still among us. Such recollections bring us great joy! Without a doubt, I believe that one day we will reunite with him in the realms of heaven. May God's blessings be upon us all!

I believe individuals as generous, kind, positive and morally upstanding are extremely rare/special. Most people are lucky to even know someone as special as my father in their lifetime, I consider my biggest blessing in life was having him as my father. He made those around him feel safe and motivated them to do and be better, leading by example. As a dedicated doctor, he worked tirelessly for his many patients through the years. Below are some direct quotes taken from his own personal memoir dedicated to my family:

 •  “My biggest hope now is that the children growing up will be more environmentally educated and do a better job in protecting the world and getting along well better with each other.”

 •  “Hard work, never run away from responsibilities, do any task to the best of my ability, persevere in any severe condition.”

 •  “Fulfillment, happiness, and accomplishment for not only myself but also the people very close to me. Just as the forest is not just about one tree or one bush or one flower flourishing, all the above is not just about me.”

 •  “I am easily content. I do not like to dress up fancy and I always root for the underdog. I am fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and I get emotional easily. My type of vacation is to catch my own fish and grill it. My favorite social time is to gather a couple good friends and meet up in a sports bar. My favorite family time is to sit down watch a good movie.”

 •  “Perfect happiness to me is when I do have no debt, I’ve fulfilled all my responsibilities, when I achieve all goals, I keep all my promises, and when all my loved ones are healthy.”

 •  “I have doubted my faith, especially when I was in hard times. The thought 'why this only happens to me' would often come to mind. The fact is God treats everyone the same, it is up to each individual to solve and overcome their problem. Rather than doubting faith, it is better to strength the faith by overcoming the hurdles and coming out feeling stronger.”

 •  “Ideal dream world of politics would be a utopia. A Place where there is no division of boundary, no barrier of language, no class difference of status, equal justice, equal pay for same work, education for all, religious and speech freedom. A world of sharing and giving. Also a world of self motivation for independence with less relying on others.”

 •  “I would still working about 4 hours a day and set up a free clinic for needy patients.”

 •  “My best advice is it does not hurt to be the underdog. This will always make you work harder and when you achieve the goal others don’t think you can it is more rewarding!”
