Grandpa Roy's Memorial Service

We had a memorial service for my grandpa this weekend down in LA. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty bittersweet. I looked through all of my old photos (I have more photos than China has people) for ones with my grandpa and other family for a slideshow that my dad was putting together. It was like a memory flood. So much history, not just of my grandpa, but so many other things. It was totally overwhelming. This all happened at the same time as all of my finals for school, so I wasn't around to study because I had to be in LA for the weekend. Anyway, the service went well, and it was really nice to see some of the extended family since my travel habit made me miss being home for the holidays the last two years. This is my Aunt Jenny reading a short history of my grandpa.

These are my wonderful grandmas, Bonnie and Yas.

My cousin Aaron, younger brother Mikey, Me, older brother Daniel, and long time family friend Brandon.

My mom's cousin Kathy's husband, Daniel, and their son Carter. Cute eyepatches, right?

Uncle Chris and Aunt Lynn

Uncle Kenny and Aunt Mary

My mom's cousin John's wife Micaela and their daughter Giulia.

The service was at a Chinese restaurant, but I'm not totally sure why. It's not like Panda Express chinese food either, we had jellyfish, roasted ducks, and whole fishes. I guess I'm a little more into American Chinese foods.

Aunt Jenny and my cousin Mikiko.

Ray and his daughter Valerie.

Mikiko and Mika were wearing almost the same dress by chance. They both got so much bigger then the last time I saw either of them. Time flies or I'm just older then I feel.

I really like this picture of Giulia.

Daniel is passed out on the couch with our dog Sandy, who unfortunately was hit by a car about a week ago. It's pretty sad that they might have to make her a tripod, but I'm glad she's still alive.
