i can remember little of the times i had with my family but every memory that i do have is worth remembering. all of my grandparents are gone now accept for one of them. it is very hard for me to think of all the good times that i have had with them. i don't know why. I guess its just the fact that i miss them so much and now they are gone. I'm happy but sad at the same time because we have had fun but then again after a while they were in so much pain that they couldn't stand it. my grandma on my dad's side has had four heart surgeries and has done really good with all of them. she has died about two years ago. i think the only reason that my grandfather has lasted until this past Sunday is because he had dementia and he could not remember that his wife has died. i really did feel bad that he could not remember anything because they were married for over 50 years, they have had very good times. well i guess that they are together in heaven now happy as ever which puts a smile on my face. my grandfather on my moms side passed away around 2001. i feel really bad for him because he suffered before he died. he had gain green in both of his legs, that had to be amputated. then shortly later he was put on life support. yes, he was brain dead by that time. my whole family was begging the doctors to take the machines off but it took almost a day for them to do it, which really made my family mad. lets just say that was the worst day that i remember. well i guess that is all i have about that.

I enjoy remembering some good times with my family. It seems, though, that I'm really the only one. I'll think of a memory, mention it to my dad, my mom, sister, or fiance, and the discussion will end there. It seems that they don't really add anything, they won't really bring up another memory very often, if at all. I think it's kind of sad, mainly because, like I said, I enjoy recollecting those old memories.

Everytime when we gather together at my parents house i considered it as my memorable moment for i dont know when and how long i will be able to stay here on earth. But i think one of the most of my fondest memories is when my sister who is living abroad came to visit us is the most memorable day for me. We miss her a lot for we dont see her in person not in webcam for more than 3 years, it is really different when she is around for she is one of my close friend, a sister and a adviser too. It is different when a family is complete.

When I was little, my father always took me whenever he went. I am the oldest in the family and my father always put a high hope in me. I love the moment when he asked me to go with him to pick my mother up from her workplace. We would ride a public traditional transportation and have a really nice afternoon walk. He would stop in the ice cream parlor on the way home and bought me one my fave ice cream and also bought me some snack. Oh how I miss those moments
