happy bday popo!

although popo means grandma in chinese, my popo was a lot more than that. while my mom was working 3 jobs trying to support us, my popo was the one picking me and marla up from school and feeding us. she took care of us for a lot of years. she used to be so full of life and was my "gaigai" (go out) pal. age is taking a toll on her though. she's loosing her memory and can't get around like she used to. it's really heartbreaking for me to see her like this.

she turned 93 this week. doesn't she look great? just looking at her, you would never guess her age! i hope to spend more time with her this year and that God heals all her illnesses so that she can really live life like she used to. i hope she knows how much we love her and how much we need her. it's a hard thing to convey to someone who thinks that they are a burden to others. although a lot of things have gone on between her and the family that has caused a rift in a lot of relationships, she is still my popo ... my gaigai pal. i hope she has a wonderful 93rd year!!!
