Christmas 2009
We went to visit Joseph's grave site today. The stone is of Chinese marble, and a Celtic cross is above his name and dates. A true Chirsihman. His name was Joseph Lawrence Hai-Sung Chow. Joseph was named after his grandfathers, Joe Chow and Lawrence Bennett Robertson. Hai-Sung; Michael Ray's older brother chose the sea - "Hai" as the theme of the generation. Joseph was conceived in Florida, and a water baby always. Hai-Sung, according to Ruby, his grandmother, means "born of the sea". It was a perfect name for the boy. He loved the water and swimming from the time he was an infant. And he carried all the hopes of both of his grandfathers. Also, he was born on October 10th, (10/10), a very auspicious day according to Ruby. A lucky boy, with so many gifts and so much family, love and hope given to him.

He was very much missed at Christmas. What should have been a kids table filled with amazing stories from Africa and feelings of his return to the states, was a kids table of sunken hearts attempting to distract ourselves from the sadness.
