Farewell to My Father-in-Law

My father-in-law, Young Suei Sheng, passed away at midnight, Jan. 16, 2010, aged 88.

He is a typical Taiwanese farmer, sincere, kind, and hardworking. He leads a simple lifestyle all his life. The only luxury he has ever enjoyed is his own family.

After suffering a hip fracture his physical ability rapidly declined. Months later deteriorated health finally brought an end to his life. The hardest part is he was conscious of his gradually losing control over his fading physical functions.

To me, his common quality really showed what is uncommon!
