This is the first year I couldn't have any joy for Chinese new year.
When we moved back to Taiwan from California 17 years ago. Chinese New Year became my favorite holiday of the year. This year, we stayed in hospital with Dady and tried to ease our pain. Dady went into hospital on 24th with severe stomach pain. Then we got the horrible answer. Dady has the last stage of stomach cancer and doctors didn't suggest the surgery. When doctor told Mom that Dady may have only couple months left, I saw Mom fainted. Then I realized that I had to be stronger than Mom.
I am not going to Shanghai in these couple months. I want to stay with my family. Fortunatelly, my boss could understand and let me work from home. He will still begin to pay me since Feburary. I may only need to be in Shanghai once for awhile.
I don't want to put this diary in Chinese because it's still new year. If you could understand, that's fine.
