Chong-Lan, the youngst daughter of my eldest uncle, was a cousin from my dad's side. She was a joyful girl who loved to chat and joke around with people. In April this year, she bidded goodbye to us and went to Heaven for her new job as a fairy.
Before she left, she temporarily stayed in the Lotus du Coeur (心蓮) hospice at the Tzuchi Hospital, Da-Lin. As she always did, soon she gained the hearts of doctors, nurses, buddhist sisters and volunteers. Everybody just loved her so much! Thanks to them, we had a 20-page booklet recording the last three years of her life on earth.
As Chong-Lan's dear little cousin, I was not there to say goodbye in person, but I would like to translate this little booklet so that I could share her life, her thoughts, and her happiness with my friends and whoever bumping into this blog and happening to be reading these posts.
Note: Tzuchi is a buddhist hospital, attracting many buddhist volunteers who are called "sisters" (since most of them are female). The sisters, not like the catholic sisters, are usually not nuns.
