Grandma
(For my grandmother, Siu-Hing Au-Young)
Though her body grew old and her skin wrinkled, deep within her heart she still remained young. She was generous. She was kind. She was finicky about the clothes she wore. Cooking brought her happiness. If you told her you liked a certain food that she had mastered making, she would make it as soon as she possibly could. She loved to be praised for the food she cooked. She cared for and worried about the people she knew constantly. Gambling and earning money were things she enjoyed doing. Once, she earned enough money to purchase a gold watch.
She was not perfect. Nobody is perfect. She was a smoker. She was vain, but she was a good person. Her life was one of contentment, a life any person would have been glad to live. I hope she will never be forgotten. This lady was my grandma.
