Dear Sharon,

Are you happy up there in heaven?

You know at this time of the year, there is a lot of parties, candies and Christmas songs that fill up our holiday season.

I am busy looking for presents for all the kids and friends.

I remember a year ago the afternoon Harry’s dad and I went Christmas shopping. Harry’s dad picked a French dictionary for you and I picked that little notebook set for you. Finally we decided the notebook was it. I knew you liked dreams and liked to write them down. I was proud when I showed it to Harry and Harry said, “It is a good present for Sharon.”

Sharon, what would you like for this year? I stood at the shop shelf and was thinking of you. Just as usual, I would like to make you happy. I picked candles. I chose candles because I heard that when I light up the candle you would come and visit us. I will light the candles on Christmas Eve to welcome you.

Sharon, you were a happy girl. Now becoming an angel, you must be happy to see we are all good. Your mom and dad are still missing you a lot. Ruiyi’s family went back to Shanghai for the holiday. Charles’s mom organized a huge party last Sunday so we got to see each other and shared wonderful times. Harry, Charles and Ziyi watched a DVD that Harry borrowed from Blockbuster. Your little sister was there too. She is doing very well at her new school. She loves dogs so our Christmas present for her is going to be a kissing dog.

Sharon, you have been gone for half a year now, but you are still here with us. We love to keep you in our life.

Just as you were, I wish you to be happy up there.

Love

Linda
