[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I just keep talking to her. I just think she may listen. I lost my wife, I lost my property, lost my house. Her name was Pak Shui Lin. I keep her phone number. Maybe something I would like to tell her. I will text her or leave a voice message. My grandson, my granddaughter, they do something. She may like or she may love, may laugh. I will tell her. We will not celebrate anything for this Lunar New Year. For our Chinese tradition, if we have someone pass away, we also won't celebrate anything. I don't know what I do. The last two months, my two sons are always accompanying me to do everything. I don't know how to face it if someday they leave me alone. I don't know how.
