for my grandmother who passed away last august 25, 2006... a few days after her 85th birthday... august 21. winning the championship was for you, ima. we finally did it. i know you were there... cheering me on silently. you re-directed the cue ball on the last shot, didn't you? i knew it was supposed to be scratched... but somehow it didn't... by a few centimeters to the left. thank you. but most of all, thank you for bringing my mom into this world. without her, i won't be here. i never really knew my grandfather, your husband... but that's ok... you've filled up everything there is to fill up anyway... really. ima, i love you... you will always be in my prayers, in my thoughts, in my heart. thank you and GOD bless you. i guess i now have a new angel to watch over me...
