September was fun
Except when Ông and Bà were gone
We took care of Cụ
And took her on walks
She watched I Love Lucy
On Mama’s big bed
She loved her outings
From her house to Mama’s
We tried our best
To make her happy
She is the cutest
In the Snake Mountain City
She’s our great-grandma
Whom we love so much
Welcome to The Rocking Chair Corner. It serves as a kind of diary for me, an incomplete depository of pieces of my life, my thoughts, my joys, my sorrows. Sometimes I include pictures so that I don’t have to search for words. Once in a great while, I attempt to put into English feelings others expressed in their non-English writings, or into my language feelings others expressed in English. Join me in a circle of rocking chairs. Kick off your shoes, sip your wine or tea, relax, and enjoy.

Remembering You
I miss you so much
I wish I could touch you
And kiss you tenderly
I remember your smile
And everything about you
You had given me
What I yearned for
When I needed it the most
My life was more complete
With you in it
And my heart sang
When you were around
I wish I could touch you
And kiss you tenderly
I remember your smile
And everything about you
You had given me
What I yearned for
When I needed it the most
My life was more complete
With you in it
And my heart sang
When you were around

Six Months
It’s been six months since you moved here. It was a big change for all of us. I am sure it was rough at times. But I hope you had fun. We had visitors and we visited. We had outings. We have memories not always captured in pictures. Pictures are nice, though, to remind us of what we were living through.
These were the times
These were the moments
Surrounded by loved ones
Even when you forget our names
We love you the same
We are happy to be
Close to you so we can touch you
And call your name
We like it when you smile
Because we are all happy inside
We want to hear your laugh
And laugh at your sneeze
Loud enough to wake
The persons nearby
I hope we will have many more
Six months together
With laughter and fun
And adventures awaiting
