Barbara’s grandmother, a fiercely independent, amazing woman who overcame enormous odds for her family during the World War II Communist Revolution in China passed away yesterday.
Barbara has allowed me to record the final moments here for posterity. It is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever heard.
Barbara was at her grandmothers bedside, holding her hand when she woke up.
Barbara: Grandmother, do you know who I am?
Grandmother: Yes, Barbara.
Barbara: Are you tired?
Grandmother: Yes.
Barbara: Then you should sleep.
… and she closed her eyes to rest.
Those of you who know Barbara, probably know that her grandmother was one of her best friends. She will be greatly missed.
I’m asking you all to send your thoughts and energy towards Barbara and all of the Chen family as they mourn. Our time here is fleeting, grab on to the ones you love and never let go.
My condolences. A loss like this is difficult to get over, so, though it may not seem like it, Barbara was lucky to be able to say good bye. Best wishes to her and her family.
