Condolences and Prayers to the family
When we were young, visiting was something our family always made sure happened. Those gatherings kept us close, especially before the older ones in our family passed on. Back then, we didn't realize how special those moments were, laughing, playing, and spending time together without thinking about how quickly the years would go by. Eventually life pulled us in different directions, and we haven't seen each other in years. Still, the memories from those days remain clear and meaningful. No matter how much time passes or how far apart we are, those moments we shared will always be there, reminding me of the bond our family once held so tightly. Lin, RIP cousin.
