“Don’t you remember? We’re all here at home,” he pleads.

Finding Comfort in Faith and Cherished Memories

Leong mentions that a spiritual adviser has assured them that Jin Yao is now “learning with Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva in the West.”

Concluding his letter, Leong expresses gratitude for the 13 years of beautiful memories his daughter provided, signing off with “Love, your family.”

This deeply personal account of loss has struck a chord with many, serving as a reminder of the importance of open communication and expressing love within families.

“In the days to come, we will help you finish your journey,” Leong promises.

Demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of tragedy, the family vows to move forward courageously, regardless of the challenges ahead.

They conclude with a heartfelt tribute to their daughter.

“You are our family’s bravest, best, and most outstanding daughter. Farewell!”
