公公與我 My Grandpa And I
到香港旅行，從來都不是我特別喜歡的事情，因為天氣炎熱，我通常都會呆在家裡。公公總是很理解，從不嫌煩。相反地，他購物回家時，總會給我帶來驚喜（通常是雪條或雪糕）。
公公以前習慣每晚喝功夫茶，有次由於好奇，我坐在他身旁，他便教我怎樣泡茶。此後每一晚，他都會讓我和他一起泡茶。公公其實可以自己動手泡（又快又整潔），但每晚，他都很有耐性的讓我在旁協助。我沒有想到那時與公公共度的時光，成為我今天美好的回憶！
公公給我的印象是一個不多言語的人，但他總説合宜的話。幾個月前，他對我說了一番話，這些話將永遠銘刻在我心裏。 在我成長過程中，我知道有人為我的健康祈禱，但那天晚上公公親自告訴我，他也常為我祈禱，叫我不要擔心，因為我是上帝所創造的，在我身上自有祂美好的計劃。那刻我無言以對，因之前從來沒有人對我說過類似鼓勵的話。 事後我反覆思考，我意識到這番話背後的深層意義。那天晚上，我原意是想鼓勵公公能渡過艱難的時刻，但相反地，他卻給我帶來鼓勵！
我自己也是一個不多言的人，但卻不影響公公怎樣看待我和對我的愛。每當我靜悄悄出現在他與媽媽及姨媽們的視像通話時，我永遠也不會忘記他臉上掛著燦爛的笑容，以及在那短暫的一刻，他給我的一點讚美。
我心裡很沉重，知道永遠不能再見到他的笑容，但安慰的是他現在去了一個更美好的地方，在天堂與主一起，並且與外婆和我大舅父重聚。 我將永遠感謝我的公公，他為我樹立了一個基督徒的好榜樣，也對我的生命產生了正面的影響。

Travelling to Hong Kong was never something I was particularly fond of because of the heat and I would usually stay in the house to avoid it. My grandpa always understood and never got upset at me for it and instead he would come home from his grocery trips with a cold surprise (typically a popsicle or ice cream!) for me.
Grandpa used to have a habit of drinking “kung-fu tea” every night, and once out of curiosity I sat next to him and he taught me how to make it. Every single night following that, he allowed me to make it with him. My grandpa, who was more than capable of making it himself (probably faster and cleaner too), patiently waited for me to help him every night. I didn’t realize it then, but now see that those were the small moments he chose to spend time with me and to build memories with me.
My impression of grandpa is that he was not a man of many words, however, he always managed to tell me exactly what I needed to hear, and a few months before his passing he left me with a few words that will be forever engraved in my heart.
Growing up I have heard several times that people are praying for my healing, and while my grandpa told me that night that he was praying for me, he also told me not to worry because God has a plan and I’m exactly the way that He had created me to be and it will all be ok. I was rendered speechless at that moment because no one had ever told me that before, but as I continued to reflect on his words I realized the depth and the truth behind them. That night I had planned to give my grandpa encouragement to get through the tough times, but instead he gave me encouragement that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
I too am not someone of many words, but that never changed how my grandpa saw me and his love for me. I will never forget the big smile on his face every time I would peep my head into the video calls he had with his daughters and the little compliments that he would shower me with in those short moments.
My heart is heavy knowing that I will no longer be able to see that smile in-person, but I am comforted in knowing that he is in a much better place now with our Lord in Heaven and is reunited with my grandma and his eldest son. I will always be thankful to my grandpa for the positive impact he had on my life and for displaying the hope that we as believers have in Christ even in his final days.
