Grandpa

It has been six years since my grandparents left. I still remember what it felt like. My grandpa was very kind. I felt very sad when he died. Today I am able to tell mom how much I miss him. I wish I could see him again.

[mom’s note] 

Looking back at a post I shared in a parent support group on May 26, 2019, it showed that it was the day my father-in-law passed away. Yi was having big tantrums that weekend. He hadn’t had tantrums for a while and I was having a hard time watching him like that. Back then I didn’t know why. Now I know, Yi was expressing his sadness through tantrums…

I am a friend of your mom, and I remember how sad your mom was when your grandpa passed away. Indeed, he sounded like an amazing person. I feel he would have know he was loved, and I am sure he is so proud of how you are honoring him.

I think you are very brave for talking about your feelings so openly! I like this quote: 'what is grief, but love persisting'? My mom died a while ago and it makes me sad to think about it. But when that happens, I try to remember the good times to cheer me up again. I hope this helps you when you think of your grandpa!

Lang is my older brother. He is eleven years old. I really like him. He is the best brother ever! He really loves me. He never complains no matter how my behaviors are. I am very fortunate to be his little brother.  I wish I can play with him.  I wish I can talk to him.  I know I can!  One day I will make him proud!  One day I will be an inspiration.  One day I will change the world.

Reading

I started reading Magic Tree House series in March. It is the first time that I am reading books that are appropriate. It makes me feel both sad and wonderful. Jack is at my age. I can see myself in him. I am very proud of myself for being courageous. I am confident that I will achieve something great!

Today I went to see Lenae. I was very excited. I was nervous. I worried that she might be disappointed. I didn’t know if I had made enough progress. I was really worried that she could be disappointed about my progress. I was so relieved at the end that I was able to show her what I could do. I am so happy. I was able to spell on the iPad. I was able to type and speak. I was able to write and speak. I was able to hold the letterboard and spell. I am so proud of myself.  I love you mom. I am grateful for having you there to always push me and believe in me. I really appreciate it. I am so ecstatic.
