Xiaodong 阿姨, I am still a little in shock. For as long as I can remember, you have been such a big part of my life. I remember being so happy when you'd come over for dinner, when we'd stay up playing cards and cracking sunflower seeds until my eyes wouldn't stay open. I remember staring with wonder at the gigantic tomatoes you grew in your garden and commenting how your green beans somehow always tasted better than ours. And I remember all the times when you took care of me when I was sick, when my parents were busy and you would be there. Xiaodong 阿姨, you are a part of so many of my memories, from DEFCON to Kalahari, from summer sunrises to winter hotpot. You always treated Lily and I like we were a part of your family, and you were family to us too. I hope you rest well and know that you will be with us, always.
