I remember when technology really started to have a big impact on my life. Cindy helped me join the technological age. As you may have already guessed, I am not very technologically savvy.
Cindy created my first email account for me. I remember asking her what an email was, and the next thing I knew, I had an email account.
The subject line read "Welcome to the 21st century." In the body of my very first email, Cindy had written, "Just wanted to welcome you to the yahoo email club". O my sister, thanks for bringing me out of the Dark Ages.
These days, because of my non-techy self, I do not currently own a smart phone. I'm sure Cyn is saying, "Would you get one already!"

thoughts of chopsticks
shared by Marlo R. Beall, her sister
Our family went to dinner at a sushi restaurant this evening and, per usual, Cyn Cyn and Ava asked me to make little "chopstick holder boats" out of their paper chopstick sleeves. This is something that we do at most sushi restaurants, almost without even knowing it.
I don't remember specifically when I and my sisters started this habit, but I'm sure Cindy was the one who taught me how to transform the paper into a little boat upon which I could rest my chopsticks.
While I was folding it, I was happy to think of passing down this minor ritual to my girls, since it had originally been passed on to me by their Tita Cyn. At the same time, it made me sad as I reflected upon how much more fun it would have been for everyone, if Cindy would have been able to teach this - and so many other things, both big and small - to her nieces personally.
