Dear Ms. Flor,

Monday, December 26, 2011

I’m sorry I won’t be able to visit you. I’m kind of throwing a tantrum at the moment because I really really really want to say thank you and good bye and to see you for the last time. I want to give my friends and teachers huge hugs. I want to give up like a bit of my time to pay my respects to someone who greatly helped me be who I am today. But I cannot.

My family is leaving on a trip on the 28th, on the same day as your necrological services with the AA community. If only I were rich and powerful and mighty, I’d book another flight just to go there. But I’m not. P6500 is too huge an amount for me.

So I apologize I won’t be there. I know I’ll be just one of the many people who’ll visit you so I don’t think it would make a difference. My mom suggested I buy you a mass card but to me that’s kind of meaningless. Do know that I am sooo grateful for all your work and that you are loved.

I may not be able to physically visit you but I think about you and pray for you a lot.

Love, Liang
