Missing a Generation.
In February of this year, I wrote the following:
July 2006 – Maternal Grandfather at age 96. He’s with grandmother now.
November 2006 – Paternal Grandmother at age 83.
February 2007 – Paternal Grandfather is in the ICU after a car accident right across from our house, at age 88. Critical condition. Decisions are being made.
Fuck. All in one year – 4704 on the lunar calendar. Starts with four, ends with four. I should have known. [Four is an unlucky number in Chinese culture.] Three more days until the new year…
I still miss them all.
