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.
