I Had a Dream

Shortly after YC and I started dating, I had a dream - a life goal, if you will.  It was a simple dream.  There were visions of myself and YC getting married, raising a family, having dim sum, attending parties with family and friends.  As my dream progressed, I pictured ourselves being lazy on a Sunday afternoon, sometimes we played in the park with our kids, played MJ with our relatives.  Then when we retired, we would take walks in a mall and eat at the food court, take the bus to the casino, watch Chinese dramas at night. Then maybe we'd go on a trip once in a while.

I didn't think this was too extravagant of a dream.  I wasn't asking for a lot.  I've seen many relatives and family friends live out this so called "dream".  I wasn't asking to be a movie star or celebrity or to travel the world.  I just wanted to grow old together with the woman I love.  But now I won't be able to do that.  And that is what eats away at my soul.
