Itโs taken days for words to arrive, in part because no amount or content of words will fill the void you leave and in part because perhaps it feels like a sense of finality when itโs not. You are everlasting and living on in us. I donโt remember how we met or our first interaction because I think you and your family's presence in my life is equivalent to my childhood. One cannot exist without the other. When you were in high school, I thought you were the coolest for being an outspoken Asian American involved in student government and leadership organizations. I admired that you proudly wore your Chinese name, which gave me the courage to do the same. Life was easier to have known that youโve walked the grounds before us. Your toughest moments were your law school days, and knowing that, I appreciate every outreach and every text you sent while I was in medical school. Iโll forever miss your holiday tests and random GIFs, amongst a myriad of qualities that make you the most special friend and person: infectious one-of-a-kind laughter, sharp wit and wisdom, impeccable taste in food and fashion, and deeply loving friend and sister. I think itโs suffice to say that we love because you loved us. I will forever cherish our memories and forever wish we had more of them. Love you always 💕
