I wanted to host a wonderful multicultural potluck gathering early Fall but can't host anything like that or host any big cultural holiday events like Chinese New Year until a full year has passed since Dad's passing.

This is one of the ways us traditional Teochew Taoist Chinese honour our most beloved family loved ones. It is not a huge sacrifice. It is showing enduring respect & honour for my deceased Dad ❤
