In Memoriam

Dear Big Aunt,

Do you remember this guitar? You bought it for me 10+ years ago when I had a sudden urge to learn. I’m so glad that it has traveled with me over oceans and mountains and is now leaning peacefully against my bedroom wall.

I really miss you.

In Memoriam (Teresa Tseng, 1948-2011)

Goodbye and hello

The sky was the perfect kind of blue, and everyone was beautiful under the Scandinavian autumn sun. Still, I felt empty inside because, though I looked everywhere, none of them was you. Happy 30th to me.
