We just received news that Susan’s grandma has passed away (in Taiwan). She has been in the hospital, and we were all hoping that she would recover, but she didn’t. She was 96 and led a great life, so this event is not tragic, but of course it is very sad.
Susan’s grandma and grandpa (on her dad’s side) helped to raise Susan and her sister during their childhood (all the way through high school). Many of Susan’s early memories revolve around them. So it is fitting that Exie is named after her (Exie’s middle name is Yi, Susan’s grandma’s first name).
Susan’s father was already in Taiwan (he works there), and the rest of the family will be flying back for the memorial services happening sometime near the end of the month.
Even though I wasn’t able to get to know her well (though I was lucky enough to meet her on two different trips to Taiwan), it was immediately obvious what a kind person she was, and how fond she was of Susan. She told me some stories about when Susan was just a little baby.
We miss you and and will always love you, Ama.

great grandma
