We miss you, Qu-Gong. RIP
I found out today that a very dear grand uncle passed away a few months ago. When my family and I were living in LA and prior to moving there he was our contact and he would make me these awesome homemade Chinese dumplings for me that were low in fat, no sodium, and really delicious even after a few days in the fridge. I miss him. He was very independent and didn't want anyone taking care of him. When we first met up with him back in 1998 he was still driving us around all over LA. When I went to visit colleges in 2000 during the summer, he drove us to Claremont/Upland/Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga. He pointed out the house he used to own in Upland.
He recorded dozens of figure skating from tv for me to watch and take home to Singapore with me at the end of the summer. I remember the time when he took my mom and me to Universal Studios. It was my first time to Universal Studios and he rode with us on the Jurassic Park ride; if you knew that ride, you'd know that it has a small drop at the end. I still have the picture somewhere.
When we moved to LA, we visited him often in San Gabriel. Always ready to greet us with a smiling face. Such a trooper and always up for adventure even at his age. We will miss him. I already miss him. He became a grandfather figure when we were in LA. Now when I go to visit LA, there will not be Qu-Gong to call on. :-(
