After a long day of travel, we finally arrived in Chicago. Many family members gathered here, and it’s always heartwarming to spend time together. This year, my sister-in-law had a baby girl, and it’s our first time meeting her. She’s so pure, genuine, and adorable. Though we’re here to honor those who have passed, her presence is a beautiful reminder that with every ending, new life comes as well.

I pray that tomorrow goes smoothly and that we share meaningful moments with our extended family and everyone who joins us for the memorial.
