Nhớ ông nhiều lắm
* Cháu nội Bo – Nguyễn Thế Phong Quang
Ông ra đi
Khi mùa xuân vừa sang
Như chiếc lá trên cành rơi rụng
Về xa nỗi nhớ
Từ cả nhà trao đến
Cho ông về bình an
Con ngồi đây,
Nhớ kỷ niệm xa xưa
Những tiếng khóc đau đớn trong tim
Đành thôi chịu đựng,
Cảnh không có ông ở bên
Như lúc ông cháu mình bên nhau
Vui vẻ trên cả cuộc đời
Giờ ông biến mất trên đời
Con khóc sâu trong nỗi nhớ
Của người ông con yêu
Nhưng giờ ta đã cách xa
Xa ông, xa rời nụ cười
Niềm vui và tươi đẹp
Con giờ đang nhớ
Giờ chắc ông hạnh phúc.
Nơi vĩnh hằng trên cõi Phật
Có chăng vượt qua nỗi đau
Không vui như xưa
Yêu ông mong ông yên lành
Bên Phật xa xôi
Sẽ đến bên ông thôi
Mất ông đau lắm!
Biết ông ra đi,
Con nhận lấy nỗi đau trong lòng
Nhớ ông nhiều lắm…

My Ông Ngoại
I met him 2007 at the age of 4. I didn’t know that he would have a big impact on my life. My grandpa, a person who will always be my role model, was incredible. He taught me so many things including drawing and writing. He spent hours and days helping me improve on my handwriting. He would stay up late at night helping with my homework and projects. My Grandpa motivated me to be in the Math Bee in 3rd grade and Pentathalon in 6th grade. I will never forget the smile on his face when I show him my achievements. Our family made a lot of memories with him daily. As the years go by he was in the hospital many times and was able to push through it. However this time he couldn’t and passed away on April 17, 2016. He was a fighter; he lasted as long as he could. We can no longer see his smile, hear his talk or hear his laugh. He not only meant a lot to the family but also to many that had met him. He may be gone off this world but I knew he is looking down on us from above. He will see us continue going through life even if he is not next to us. Rest in peace Grandpa. I love you very much.

I miss you very much Ông Ngoại!
On October 5, 2007 was the first time I met my grandpa Nguyễn ThếPhi, my Ông Ngoại. I was two years old not knowing much and how my grandpa. Soon later impacted my life. I had so much memories with him! Now let’s talk about somethings about him. One thing I know about my grandpa is that he got an AA degree at age79 which is impressive. I also know that my grandpa was in the jail in Vietnam when he was working as a journalist, this happen when the communist took over. People that were with him in jail told my family that he always had a positive attitude even thought he was going through hard time in his life. Now you can cry all day since my grandpa; a husband, father, father in-law, a brave strong man who never give up die! But have a positive attitude set the negative feelings away and think positive like my grandpa did when he was in jail. Be happy that he is happy and isn’t suffering. I promise he is in good hands. He’s in heaven and we all know that. He can now reunite with his parents and siblings. He is with Buddha and following Buddha! I bet you he is very happy. So you can be sad or happy, maybe even both, but think about he is living a better life. Buddha didn’t want him to suffer so Buddha had to take him. So my Grandpa will not feel any pain, for him to always be happy. Rest in peace Ong Ngoai, we love you very much!

Thương nhớ Ba
Dẫu biết rằng sinh lão bệnh tử là quy luật của trời đất, nhưng lòng chúng con và bà con thân hữu gần xa không khỏi bàng hoàng xót xa khi Ba chóng vánh ra đi. Giờ đây chúng con chỉ biết ôn lại những kỷ niệm xưa cũ, những ký ức không thể xóa nhòa về một người chồng, người cha, người ông để vơi đi nỗi đau biệt ly này. Cuộc đời như một giấc mơ, đến rồi đi, gặp gỡ rồi chia ly, âu cũng là nhân duyên chốn hồng trần.
Hôm nay chúng con xa Ba, nhưng trong lòng tất cả chúng con luôn luôn thương nhớ đến người Cha khả kính của chúng con. Chúng con xin tạm biệt Ba thân yêu của chúng con, Xin quỳ lạy cầu nguyện Trời Phật độ trì cho hương hồn Ba về nơi Tây Phương Cực Lạc.
Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật.
