we’ve known each other practically our whole lives—from those carefree grade 2 days, when everything felt simple, to now, when everything feels so full circle. you’ve been one of my constants...the kind of friend who’s seen me grow, stumble, and find my way back again. and even if life made us drift apart for a while, that bond we built has always stayed with me.

i’ll be honest, i haven’t been the best friend these past few years. there were times i was distant, lost in trying to fix myself and figure out who i was becoming. but please know that even in silence, you were always someone i prayed for, someone i rooted for. because you deserve nothing less than the kind of love you give so freely, gently, patient, and full of heart.

seeing you today felt surreal. i couldn’t help but think of all the versions of us that led here—the kids who giggled about crushes, the teens who dreamed out loud, and the women we became. and seeing you with philip, seeing how he has always looked at you, i know you’ve found the love that will hold you the way you’ve always held others: with warmth, with care, with so much love.

congratulations, tey 🤍 thank you for being my constant, my safe place, and my reminder that real friendship can stand the test of time and distance. i’m endlessly proud of the woman you’ve become. and as you step into this new chapter in life, know that i’ll always be cheering you on, just like i always have. here’s to forever, to love, and to the kind of friendship that will always feel like home. 💜 i love you!!

to me, disney has always been more than just a place. it’s a feeling—one that takes me back to my childhood, to the smell of vhs tapes rewinding, to the laughter echoing through our home, and to the magic she made me believe in ever since i could remember.

i grew up watching disney movies on repeat, collecting anything with disney on it. it wasn’t just entertainment, it was a core memory being built, quietly and lovingly, by my lola. she was the reason i fell in love with disney in the first place.

hong kong disneyland, in particular, will always hold a special place in my heart. i remember my first visit as a little girl—back when there were only a few rides, and space mountain was the most thrilling thing there. my lola loved that park so much that she got us annual passes and made sure we’d only ever stay at the hong kong disneyland hotel. the cast members, jason and tung, still remember our family even after all these years—proof of how much she left her mark, not just on us, but on others too.

when my lola passed away, it took us ten years to come back. a whole decade before we could face the memories that lived within the park walls. when we finally returned last year, the staff asked where she was, and that simple question shattered something in me. but at the same time, it reminded me that love like hers never really leaves.

this year’s visit felt different. it felt like coming home. every corner of the park, every song, every light, every smile reminded me of her. she’s everywhere and nowhere all at once.

after the fireworks last night, i ran to my mama sue and hugged her tight. i told her i was sad because the trip was ending, but the truth is...i was crying because leaving meant saying goodbye to my lola all over again. this park, no matter how small it is compared to the other disney parks i’ve been to, holds the biggest piece of my heart because it holds her.
