In loving memory of my beloved wife

At 11am, I was browsing the old photo at Picasa. Those were the photo which we were having the vacation at Washington DC. It was in April with the Sakura blossom session. We flied to New York before we took a bus for a journey of 4 hours to Washington DC.

I still remembered at the journey, the bus had no air conditioning and indeed had to open up the air ventilation at the roof of the bus. It was not a pleasant trip at all. I could still recall some of the fake memory of the routes and scenery along the trip. There was also an incident. We were lining up at the Central Bus Station to get on the bus, but were disturbed by a group of youngster (of three perhaps) where they were trying to ask for some money from us. We did not bother them but they kept insisting till a nice old lady and man start to intervene asking them to be off. The elders indeed tried to shield us from getting disturbed by them. We felt so touching as they "protected" us like their family. I could remember the front lady also demanding them to get lost and had some argument with them. Along this, we could only remain silence but the elderly encouraged us to talk to them instead of bothering the three disturbing youngsters. And so, with the protection, we got on to the bus and set off to Washington. Thank you!

At arrival to the Washington, a friend of mine found himself with some infection at leg which require some attention and immediately docked to the nearby hospital and could not join us in the wandering around. He missed all the nice scenery of Washington DC and the Sakura blossom.

We had the walk around to the park but I could not remember the way of return. And thus causing you have to walk almost the whole of the Washington DC city. We lost about 2 hours and I had the little one with me while you were holding the elder hand to walk. You were still fit for this excersize but now I felt so sorry for having you to walk for so long. We should indeed have a cab and return to hotel within 15 minutes. But I remembered you saying, if the kids were not crying and complaining, you would like to walk with me.

The phrase still in my memory. I would like to walk again. You will with me right!

Kids, your mother is a tough lady and she is a great mother. She is!
