So long and Thanks for all the fish

Oh how time has pass, in a few weeks you will turn 80. Wow that is an amazing age!
I am so glad that you are still here with us, strong and healthy.
I know I have not been seeing you as much as I have, since I left home and got married, but please know that you are always on my mind.

You have taken care of me from the day I was born. You are my second mum.
You are the one who always took care of me when I was scared.
You are the one who always took care of me when I was sick.
You are the one who rub Vicks on my chest and back when I have a cold.
You are the one who made me ginseng tea when I was studying late
You are the one who cook, clean and care for me.

I know I have not always been a good grandson.
Sometimes I ignore you (when you nag me to clean up my room)
Sometimes I forget to call you and see how you are.

I know I have no excuse for my laziness, but trying to adjust to a new life as a husband and living away from you is a very hard thing.
I miss your delicious cooking,
I miss your stories and jokes,
I even miss your nagging.

I know you will never read this (since you can't read English) and I'll be too embarrass to tell you face to face.
But please know you will be always be close to my heart.

You have taken care of me for close to 30 years, and I hope you will let me and my family take care of you for another 30 years.

Love,

Your Grandson.
