Papa Quang

It's been six months now since I started my job. Working in a manufacturing company is a lot of fun. I worked with different kinds of people what I mean is that different nationalities, different language and most of all different culture. Those differences never bothered me because everyone treats like we're brothers and sisters. I'm close to a lot of my co-workers and even to those who works in different departments. It was not hard for me to adjust because everybody are nice. I'm amaze because I work with young and even older people. I have a lot of Mama's(mommy)and Papa's(Daddy), I called them either mama or mommy, papa or daddy.

One of the nicest man at work is Papa Quang. He is a Vietnamese and he's been in the US for a long time with his family. He works at the company for a long long time too. He is so nice and he always reminds me of my Grandpa, the reason why I like him. He always shared me the tools I need even though he is using them. I never heard him complaining or anything.
I noticed his not coming to work lately and so I asked my team leader where he is. My team lead said he is very sick. No wonder he said that he has stomachache all the time. My team leader said also that he can't eat anything but just the milk as his food, and that is why he is skinny. I was so sad when I heard about it. One of my co-worker said that Papa Quang's doctor said that they didn't see anything on his stomach and just lately they found out that he has a cancer. My co-worker used to call him monkey for being skinny and I felt bad of him. Sometimes I complained why they called him old monkey. He don't say anything but just quiet or smile.

Two days ago, we had a card for him. I was the first one who signed on it. Telling him I miss him a lot and we love him so much, we want him to get well very soon and so he can come to work with us. Just few minutes after we're done signing the card we got a call and said that he just pass away. I cried and it broke my heart because he is amazing. We love him and we will miss him a lot. We just found out that they went to the doctor last week and the doctor said he just need to come home and have fun. And the doctor said to his family that they're just going to wait two weeks for him, but it did not happen, it was just two days and his dead. :-(

Today, we're gonna go see him. Today is his viewing at Evergreen Memorial.

We love you and we will miss you Papa Quang!
