The shock and sorrow overwhelmed me when I was awoken by my mother, 王富美, and her early phone call. Knowing 邦邦 since kindergarten, my memories of him are as deeply ingrained in me as part of my own life. 邦邦 and I went to 經一幼稚園 together and the same Sesame Street English Academy. Because of that, our families became close friends, and this family friendship extended and strengthened as 邦邦 and his family immigrated to Canada. The two families even spent a short period of time living together under one roof before the Tsai family moved to White Rock. I still remember 邦邦 helping me mow the lawn under the scorching sun and 蔡爸爸's gift of a BBQ grill before moving. Although Barry and I pursued our own life journey ever since childhood, I will always remember how we enjoyed eating frozen yogurt after Sesame Street, and how our mothers took us to eat 水餃 across the street from the English academy on 文橫路. I will treasure these memories with me, and I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to 阿姨, 叔叔, and Monica.
