We are going to Hong Kong!!

Dear Yasmin,

The whole week this week had been very exciting for you. When daddy told you on Monday that we are going to Hong Kong this weekend, you keep repeating that throughout the whole week. We told me and mommy that we are going to see Grandpa and grandma, 2nd uncle and auntie. You keep talking about going to the airport and go on the plane. When daddy told you that we are going to go above the cloud, you gave me that incredulous look with your mouth open wide....

Daddy is taking you to Hong Kong to pay final respect to Great-grandpa. He is grandma's daddy, and he loves daddy very much when daddy was your age. He took care of daddy and uncle Tony and Kingston and auntie Annie when we were little. He took us to school, fetch us home and took us to the playground in the afternoons.

He also took daddy to the wet market when daddy was just 7, and taught daddy how to choose fresh fish and veg. That's why daddy loves cooking. Great Grandpa passed away 2 weeks ago, and he is 100. He used to tell daddy great stories when he was younger in China. When he was young, there was still emperor in China, and the told daddy about WWII, the Cultural Revolution in China. Daddy and Auntie Annie were by his side when he passed away, and he looked so peaceful, and daddy played videos of you singing and dancing for him. When you grow older, daddy will show you pictures of him and tell you all the stories about him.

The next few days must be really exciting for you. We will be going to HK, then spend a few days in China with grandpa and grandma. You are going to love this coming week.

Good night my princess

Daddy
