One year since my father passed away

I can't believe it but it has been exactly one year since my father passed away. It was just so sudden and surreal, that my family was at his bedside in the hospital one year ago. As I think about the year since he passed away, I know my father would be proud of me that I finished my PhD and found a great job at Nokia Research Center in Beijing, and that I'm learning Mandarin.

So even though life moves on, I will always remember my dad. Remember all those time we shared when I was a child, when we would play catch with the baseball, going out to dinner, asking him help on Chemistry homework in high school, and helping me with my Grade 7 and 8 science fair project.

My father is in a better place without any suffering any more and is with God. So even though I miss him, I can feel at peace that he is with God and is watching over me, saying "I'm proud of what you have done son". You never know what life throws at you, but whatever it is, I have my faith in God. It also makes you realize you need to treasure every moment with your loved ones.
