If you ask me the first thing that comes to mind when I think of 嫲嫲, it would be fish soup. Being called from playing in the study at Broomfield, running down the stairs and being met in the kitchen with a warm, comforting bowl of soup. Of course she would make sure that we all had an extra bowl. It was in shared moments like these, or at our celebratory family dinners that we had a strong sense of togetherness. All of us gathered in the kitchen - helping to prepare food, bring food out to the table or sneaking a piece of bbq pork skin off the counter.

Growing up, the grandkids were quite westernized and we may not have always appreciated the traditions and stories that were told to us. As we've gotten older, we realize the importance of our cultural identity and connection with our ancestors. I'm thankful for the patience that 嫲嫲, 爺爺 and our parents had to teach us these traditions, and repeat them with us year after year. Even if we brushed them off, they never gave up. Especially as I live far from home now, I'm still reminded to look out for the rabbit in the moon during mid-autumn festival because of the stories they told us.

嫲嫲 - thank you for your love, and being there to unite us. We'll miss you, and hope to make you and 爺爺 feel proud as we keep your teachings and memories in our hearts.

Despite the language barrier, I always knew my grandmother was a source of constant support and love. She helped shaped who I am today. She was a window into understanding my heritage. And she always fed me like any good grandmother would.

I’m blessed to have 35 years worth of memories of my grandmother and it makes me smile to think that she has reunited with my grandfather; who has probably been rather grumpy by himself now for so many years now.

As we reflect back today, there are a couple things that stick out to me about 嫲嫲. Values that she instilled into this family that were difficult to understand when we were younger but have become more clear as we go through our own journeys and experiences in life. She was someone who focused significantly on the importance and the principles of Family and of keeping tradition.

When we were younger, the Sunday dinner at a restaurant was a common occurrence for the Lo family. As kids, to be very honest, I never really understood why we had to have dinner all those times, every weekend… and frankly growing up, I’m sure many of the grandkids probably wanted to do something else or had other things to do but any Sunday night plans were inevitably hijacked by a dinner at Sam Woo with 爺爺 & 嫲嫲 with no options to really say no. However, the best part was probably the dessert after the dessert… the good old visit to the McDonald’s for sundaes courtesy of 爺爺 & 嫲嫲 after the much less popular dessert option… sweet red bean soup…

Now looking back, those dinners were for times of gathering and connecting for our family. Dedicated time to spend with each other. It was our tradition that 嫲嫲 likely looked forward to each week or each holiday. Sometimes we celebrated the special holidays like Christmas and mid-autumn festivals and other times, we celebrated birthdays but looking back, regardless of whatever they were for, it was, most importantly, time spent as a family. I begin to understand why those moments were so precious because as we get older, it becomes more difficult to get everyone together. I can now only imagine how happy she must’ve been to see her family with her during those dinners. We are thankful for those delicious meals and moments together. You will be missed and your impact to our lives will forever be felt.

Being the youngest grandchildren out of our family, we always recevied a special kind of love from 嫲嫲. When we were younger, we remember going to 嫲嫲’s house every Sunday for homecooked meals that she had prepared just for us. 嫲嫲 always motivated us to do well in school, work hard, and stay healthy. One of our fondest memories was having dim sum at the Chinese restaurant near her house and ordering our favourite dishes. 嫲嫲 often expressed her love by making sure that our stomachs were always full and even when we were, she would always offer us more. Reflecting on our childhood, 嫲嫲 was a significant part of shaping who we are today. We are so thankful for you to have been a part of our lives and we will always remember the love that you showed to us.
