The beginning of the second year of grieving. It has been so difficult. More difficult than I thought it would be. On top of our existing grief, we got more hurting from other people, from people we care dearly, intentionally or unintentionally.

Mom totally broke down in the church meeting this weekend. However, thinking about Lydia, mom is going to fight like Lydia no matter how difficult the situation is.

I cried so much this weekend. I don’t know why all the holidays have to be this difficult.

Kevin Bao, Lydia’s good friend, Cincinnati young musician winner, had performance tonight with Montgomery Symphony Orchestra. He wore the Lydia’s Living IT ALL t-shirt and shared with several hundreds people in the audience that this piano piece is dedicated to Lydia. Many Kevin’s friends went to the concert wearing the same T-shirt. The event like this gave us a huge comfort.

Mom was able to share Lydia’s web site to a few people. It was a good night, after all the hurting of the weekend.

God has a lot of grace and mercy.
