Two years passed since MP left us but her contribution to society will live on. I was always very proud of her achievements and still am. I came across some of her work and thought it befitting to share them here.
Everyday is a struggle to find meaning and not be consumed by self pity at losing my daughter. I am getting so much better at this. The fact that I was able to participate in the recent xmas festivities was a major improvement. Now the CNY draws near and I am reminded again that MP is not gonna be around. I miss my girl....

Liverpool with CS Dec2007
Well I arrived in Manchester and hang around for a couple hours before hoping onto a train heading for Liverpool. This was Dec 14 and according to your brother very well timed as he was sitting for his last paper.
After being so used to the heated buildings in the US, I was caught off guard at the relatively colder temperatures within the buildings. Parked myself in one of the cafes while waiting for your brother and while it was better than standing in the middle of the station, it was still cold. I had to keep my jacket, gloves and hat on.
CS suggested renting a car for a road trip but I was kinda lazy and really just wanted to spend time with him. So we ended up spending a lot of time shopping. Some winter clothing for him and Dorcus. Mostly we shopped in the nearby malls except for a day trip to the Cheshire Factory Outlets.
Your brother is doing pretty good. You will proud to know that he is working part-time to supplement his expenses. His first odd job was toilet cleaning, then sweeping the stadium. His third job was that of a store keeper. Although it was a temp position, it was with a huge catalog/wharehouse retailer so the experience was good. More recently he’s found himself a regular part-time job writing machine manuals. Plus he’s with a girlfriend who obviously adores him.
And oh, I am so impressed with his landlord. Surprise, surprise!!... Chris is Malaysian and an ENT surgeon training to be a consultant. Real estate is his fall back plan and he’s also pretty handy around the house, diy quite a bit of the interior fixtures. He took us out dancing at a Latin club on my birthday and guess what? He’s also an accomplished Latin dancer. We met two more medical practitioners from Msia. One is a Kidney consultant while the other an Eye surgeon. Makes me proud to be Msian.
Anyway the week flew by really fast and soon it was time to fly out to Chicago.
