Imade

I can't believe it's been a year since she passed away. Sometimes in
the back of my mind, i think she was still with us. she's just in ann
arbor working hard at her phd. every time i make a trip out to ann
arbor for something, i catch myself thinking "hey, we should meet up
with imade for sushi or korean food!" then it would suddenly dawn on me
that we don't have that privilege anymore. our angel has passed on.



it was truly a privilege to have known her, even if it was only for a
couple of years. now to think of it, the total time we spend together
face-to-face probably didn't even add up to a month. we worked at
different sites, then studied in two different cities. we got together
any chance we got, but still, how can anyone get too much of imade??
Andrea and I found out about her death on facebook. We both thought it
was a prank... it was just shocking. After, I thought, man, life is
mysterious, chance had it that we met up with her not long before that
in ann arbor for chinese food. we laughed so hard together, like every
other time we were together.



One of my favorite memory was of her playing Guesstures at my house.
Alexis and her were just the killer team!!! That's the cool thing about
her, no matter what she did, she gave her all. Even if it's just a
game, she played hard, and laughed harder!!! I still remember that
night, for some weird reason, my dog suki would not stop sticking her
nose in her crouch!! it was just so strangely hilarious!!!



I am sure in my heart that no matter where she is now, she definitely is
still laughing and loving, just as i remembered. We miss you, Miss
Imade.
