Dear vii,

I’m just listening to How to deal atm and its reminding me of you so much. We just came back from retreat a few days ago and I admit a lot of things that happened at retreat can be linked back to our year 10 retreat, even the photos we took looked similar too, I miss you so much. In those three days, I thought to myself babe, what it would be like if u were still here, a lot of things would be different. A few of the girls broke down during the second night of retreat because of the atmosphere and the thought that you would be with us. I felt as thought you actually were babe. On the third day, we were shown a nice PowerPoint presentation and there were a few pictures of the group in year 9 or 10. Gosh we looked so young but most important was that you were there in the photo with us.

I saw your mum a week ago at Bringelly and she seemed better than a while back. We caught up and stuff, I promised that ill keep in contact with her. You know what vii, I see her as a mother to me too. I promise you that after all this HSC bullshit finishes, ill visit her more often cos ill have a car and stuff. I want to get to know her more and spend some time being there for her. I hope your looking over us.

Lately, I’ve been having family problems babe, heaps. My parents are divorcing and being the only child, there’s quite a bit of pressure put on me. And I feel as though im all alone sometimes, even others there for me, sometimes I just think to myself, where’s that person I used to be able to call 24/7 everyday after school and stuff? Whenever I have problems, whenever I need anything, to just call or pop over to that person’s house and be sure that they’ll always be there for me, and always have the right thing to say. There will never be anyone that will replace your place babe. Even though I have many great friends and stuff there for me, it won’t happen.

But anyways babe, it’s just been a while since I’ve actually sat down and reflected on this stuff. I hope you are watching over us and please pray for the girls during there HSC babe. No one has forgotten about you. I love you girl. See you in heaven one day J

MWAH.

Love, Rosa

P.s You are turning 18 soon. =)

Hey Vii,
 
This is my second letter to you. Well 2006 is already half way through. Its scary how time flies. In just a few short months it will be one year since you passed. One year since you were taken away from us. Not a day goes by when I don't think about you. Its so hard going to school and knowing that I'm not going to see you. And that I'm not going to get a hug from you. I walk past your group so often and it doesn't seem the same. I look at them and expect to see you sitting amongst them, sharing laughs and having a good time. But it never happens. Things are so different and so hard without you.
 
I drew a picture of you Vii, as a memorial. It sits in room 41, being that were you still here, that would be your senior homeroom. I presented it to McCormack at an assembly. I started to cry and so did people in your house, teachers and students. It will sit in the school forever, as a tribute to the life you shared and to the MSJ community who misses you so much.   
 
When I heard about the crash I couldn't believe it. Knowing that you were in so much pain before you died. It tore me apart. But God took you from us so that you didn't have to be in any more pain. No one wanted you in pain and God knew it was time to stop the pain that was brought upon you in a matter of minutes. I'll always remember that you were a fighter Vii. You didn't want to leave this earth. Especially knowing how many people would be affected by this. You fought till the very last breath that you took. I wish that I could go back in time and erase the 26th November, 2005 all together. That way, you would still be here with us, and no one would be in the pain in which your death has brought on us.    

Even now, writing this letter causes me so much pain. I can't help but cry for you Vii. You held a special place in my heart as a physical being and you will always hold a place as a spiritual being. You are so special Vii. You touched the lives of so many people and we will never ever forget you. Please keep looking over me and the entire MSJ community. Give us strength to keep fighting, even through the most darkest of times. Be my guardian angel through the HSC Vii. Give me the inspiration to do my best and to be all I can be. I miss you Vii and I love you so much. You are God's beautiful baby angel. xoxoxoxo.  
 
Rest in Peace forever Vii.
5/9/1989 - 26/11/2005
 
I cannot say.
And I will not say.
That you are dead.
You are just away.
 
I love you Vii, and I miss you so much.
I'll never ever forget you.
You will be in my heart always.
 
Becks =)

Dear Vii,

I do not know you personally myself, but I see you everyday at school. I do not like your asian group because you don’t seem like kind people. I was overseas at the time you died. I was on msn and suddenly one of my friends sent a letter to me saying that a girl from msj named Christine chu had died from a car crash. I was like who the heck is Christine chu. I couldn’t remember. Then my friend showed me a pic of you. I was like to them NO, you gotta be joking, stop faking it, why you saying that, she didn’t.
But the next day, when I went on msn againz, everyone was like she really did, I felt like crying and saying to God ‘why take such a young girl’s life away…she didn’t do anything wrong’ I went to your blog and your friends blog, I could see that they are all heart broken because of your loss. I went home and asked my mum in Viet ‘if I died, what would you feel mummy’ she answered’ my heart would be shattered into pieces honey and I would want to die too,’ so I think I know how your parents, brother and sisters and friends are feeling.
If only time could be rewind, I would go up to you and ask you to be my friend. if only time could be rewind so you do not have to leave this beautiful place. But I know that you are in a more beautiful place than earth, it is heaven…RIP CHRISTINE CHU
Hope your family and friends to recover from the sadness they are feeling now..

I will always miss you and think of you

Hey Vii,

I haven’t written to you yet, because well first I wasn’t all that close to you and I’ll admit that, but also because I didn’t really know how to put what I wanted to say in writing, but now I think I’ve finally figured it all out. I decided that I knew what to say when another one of my friends passed due to cancer, he was 18. Then it all came to me and I can finally say what I’ve wanted.
I think back to when I first heard about your death it was over msn and I didn’t really believe it at first, it all seemed like a sick joke. Then I kept hearing more and more about it and I started to wonder if maybe it was real, I asked someone who it was and they just said Christine. Not sure how many Christine’s there are at the school, but then they said yr 10 and I was really shocked that someone so young was taken away. It wasn’t fair.

I don’t personally remember you all that well in the later years of school, but I do remember you in years 7 and 8. Can’t remember what class it was, but Steph and me used to call you Chewy and you’d get mad then laugh with us. Good times. I also remember sitting with you at lunch for a while because my sister bagged me out for being the only blonde in a group of Asians.
At first it was really hard to accept that you’d been taken away, but everyday it became easier for me, I’m not sure how your friends cope though. I would die if I was them.

Vii you were such a lovely girl and will always be missed by your friends family and MSJ year 10 2005. You should have seen how upset everyone was at your funeral, I’d never seen so many people in one place before. Shows how loved and missed you are.
I hope that you will never be forgotten because you where such a beautiful girl…No one will ever forget you, every death I hear of or suicidal person just reminds me of your death and how it is unfair that people want to die and kill themselves and you didn’t. You had so much to live for and you were taken away from this world. I hope all those people get over that stage and realize how important they are to others, you can be there inspiration. Look how many people you have affected.

I know I won’t forget you and I hope no one else who knew you will either, you’ve left an imprint in so many peoples lives.

xoxoxo moment of silence for the new little angel.

hey baby

not a day has gone by without me thinking of you. im still scared to sleep at night but yeah cause at night i always have flashes of the week that you left us. everytime i think back, things become clearer and i remember more of those sad days. the days that we had to accept that we wouldnt see your beautiful live face anymore. i just read back to the first letter that i wrote for this dedication site. and then i read yvonnes letter to you and i just cried again. i dont know but vii sometimes lil things like msn nicknames have to remind me that youre not with us physically. i miss you so much vii and it still hurts but i now know how to hide the pain i have for your absense.

well, in my first letter i didnt really mention about anything properly, it was just really rambling ons and now i want to to make everything clear.

my lovely baybeeh vi, you were my first friend i made in my primary school in year 2. my first friend, the person i sat next to then. i remember you made me cry once =') i remember i used to go over your house and play barbies with youu. awwww those lil days, im gonna always think back to that if i see lil kids playing barbies. esp spastics asian girls like us! well yes then in high school, at the beginning, in year seven, we were like arguing but then i dont know, miraculously we mended our barriers. and then so much growing up together, the city days, the dream foto days, the cinema days, the drinking days, the shopping days, the sleeping in your bed days. OMG Vi remember when i went your house and i watched the cinderella story. OMG I CRIEDDDDDDD and we were like AWWWWWWWWWW *TEAR TEAR. AWWWWWWWWWWW vii you hooked me up on hilary duffs movies! im a sucker to typical flick chickss. Remember those days where me and jess would just go your house and we’ll just talk. Once there was yen and we were watching a scary movie. Lol remember when we used to jig in year eight cause I think we didn’t do our assignment or something? Then we would just sit at coco all day long rofl. And I remember you made lots of those keyrings with all our dream fotos in it. I even remember the exact moment you told me that Frankie j- how to deal was your favourite song. And you burnt it for me. I even remember a time, you were listening to my ipod and I played the song for you because I knew you loved it and you smiled at me. I will always cherish that because memories like this makes me love you and miss you more.

i remember when i got a phone call from lil ha. she was telling me how you got into an accident, a serious one. but it never crossed to my mind that death would be the final result, you know? all i thought it would be a broken arms, u know broken bones. never knew it would be a head injury that was so serious that it would cost your life. cost your life, cost us all this pain, watching your family, your sisters and your brother, your dad and your mum. cost us this loss. at that point i didnt know you passed, but i remember phoning with quynh. and we were feeling so helpless and shit. and i remember we prayed. and then we hung up. and then i called uyen and she was trying to find out more info. and then i got a call from yen "she died" that struck me so hard vi you dont understand. i was in total disbelief. i was like " wat the fuck" i was going to get angry at yen but i knew that yen would never take a joke like this ever. not about our friend. we hung up and i called quynh. and uyen told her. and i remember going to my mum saying this in viet "one of my friend died.." "oh god who" "vi mum" and when i said vi i remember i choked out my tears and words. and then i was trying to look for the hospitals. calling up hospitals and feeling more useless and useless. and then i remember being at my door and quynh was walking to my front door and we just broke into hugs and crying crying. then i contacted rosa and she was shock. i remember talking to rosas mum first. and then me and quynh walked to rosas house and it felt so normal. but then meeting with rosa and martin made things.. like i dont know. it was like a wake up call.. like "hello this isnt normal. a friend fucken died" and then giving out the details about how you died, saying those words, tore my heart apart. i never knew my chest could feel so much pain, like a heart being squeezed or something. now i know how it feels to be really heartbroken. realising that maybe i never fell in love, like not even for a guy. cause i felt heartbroken for the first time, losing a great friend. one of my best friends ever. cause feeling heartbroken for a guy cannot be reached OR COMPARED to the way i was heartbroken for you. cause girl your departure broke my heart.

question: how can a person become nothing? people answer that a person doesnt become nothing, but they become a guardian angel and watch over their loved ones. and i believe that one.

im so proud, i know how to make cranes ;) i remember the times I saw your sisters, you should be proud of them, they were trying to hold up strongly. Esp when they had to organise so much. I remember the following day we went to st brendans mass. And then reminiscing back to the old times at beccas house. I cried and cried, feeling so angry at god, and wondering so much shit.

I remember the first time I saw you. They were opening the coffin and I just stalked out of the church. I felt so bad. But then when I saw you, I just kept going back to the front where your coffin was. Didn’t want to leave your side. I felt like drawn to you.

I have dreamt of you, one time you were wearing a red top and you were at bankstown shops and you were flying! I was filled with joy, I was like VI VI! I screamed out your name twice to be exact! Maybe that means something hopefully?

01012006

Well yesterday was NYE. And rosa chucked a party for her birthday slash nye… there were many times I wanted to cry but I couldn’t even tho I was thinking of you.. maybe I wasn’t intoxicated enough..lolno.. there was a time we were lying on the middle of the road looking up at the stars..and that was cool and I said u were the stars watchin over us..gosh I miss u vii! Me and rosa held hands were lying on the road and I don’t know I felt like I was just at peace.

2006..

So its like 2006 now. Make sure I work hard in school okay? Make sure I'm good to my mum okay? =) I know you always do, you were the one that understood the problems I had with my mum the most that’s because you had a good relationship with your own mum even tho u had lots of misunderstandings with her but I look up to u vi, I admire you, cause you always worked them out and you always put ur mum’s love first.

06052006

Our friendship will never end Vii, the place in my heart can never be replaced by anyone greater than you. Cause you came into my life and I can never be grateful enough, in return I will keep our friendship going and I will honour your memory and keep loving and missing you. Rest In Peace 050989-261105.

A moment of silence.

Love Ella.

Hey missy!!

            We’ve known each other for quite sometimes now, somewhere dating back to year 8?? We grew to be so so CLOSE!! A time where there was only 4 of us even tho im a grade above you.. it wasn’t the grade that made a difference, it was your personality, something that would bring a smile to me everyday no matter what state im in!! Years grew by and even though you had your own group and I had mine.. our chatting times, hanging out dates never ended!! Always a chat here and there where ever possible!! Theres so much I want to THANK you for!!! You stood by me in many fights and you’re a girl with a lot of COURAGE and STRENGTH. I just don’t understand why of all people God chose you!! Even the day I left MSJ I remember giving you such a BIG BIG hug and said “take care of yourself sis”, tho it was departure and I moved to another school it was definitely not a GOODBYE and never will be. If I knew what had happened I would have came back to the school for Peru Day. Anything just to see you one last time and say how much im missing you!! There was so much ahead of you and by one fatal accident you were taken away!! I always ask myself why why?!! I know you’re physically away but girl you will always remain in my heart!! I love you so much!!

RIP Vii

Loving you always and forever Maria.T

Dear Vii,

Well. What can I say? I don’t know where to start. I really don’t. How about I start from the beginning.

The first day I ever met you is a day I’ll never forget. You were in Year 6 and at the MSJ orientation day. My year group met all you new year sixers on the oval before lunch. We were all split into groups for the activity in which we would complete together after lunch. Lunch time came and we all went our separate ways. After lunch we all met back up for the afternoon’s activity. I was to explain to you all what year seven was like, how settling into another school was and the sorts of things which you would do in your first year. Then we would go on a tour of the school. Firstly we all introduced ourselves. I remember when you introduced yourself. You were so cheery, and so happy. You really lit up the entire group. You really made me smile. When the day ended, you said goodbye to me. I couldn’t wait to see you the following year, but at the same time I prayed that you would remember me.

Your first day of year seven came and I was looking forward to seeing you again. I was sitting on the quad when you walked up. I smiled and walked over to you. I hoped that you had remembered me. You did indeed. You knew exactly who I was. You gave me a hug. When the bell went and you went into the hall when I went to homeroom I said to you that I would help you find you way around. You smiled and happily went off into the hall. For the next few weeks I showed you around to all of your classes. We got to know each other well. We shared many of the same likes. You were like a twin to me. We shared so many things in common. As the weeks went on, you gradually became settled in to the life at MSJ and you were making heaps of friends. You looked really happy. I remember you introducing me to all of your friends. It was a really special time. I knew from that moment on that you wouldn’t need my assistance anymore. However, I really hoped that you wouldn’t stop talking to me and everything. And you didn’t. No matter what you were doing, or what time it was, you always would come up to me and say hi and give me a hug. You were a really special person. You had the best personality ever and you cared about everyone. It was only a matter of time before you started catching the bus. You were on my bus, so we saw each other a lot more. You made bus rides so much more alive. Your group used to sit at the back and sing songs all the way to Bankstown. It was great.

As you went into year eight and nine, you matured so much. You became a real young lady. You always were having fun and smiling. You still managed to find me at school to give me a hug each day. We used to hang out in the holidays and everything. It was great. When you got into year ten, I was so proud of you for finally making it to your final year of compulsory schooling. You had your School Certificate exams ahead of you and you really seemed ready for them. On the day of your SC exams I wished you good luck. You were extremely nervous but you seemed ready for them anyways. I couldn’t believe that your final year of compulsory schooling was nearly over. I knew you were continuing in years eleven and twelve, but you were still growing up and going through your schooling years so quickly.

When Peru Day arrived, I came and visited you at your “got rice” store. You were so happy. At the end of the day, we were told that you’re year group raised more money than ours did the year before. $16000 to be precise. That was a huge amount of money that your year raised. You all did so great. You should be REALLY proud. I know that I am. When we arrived in Bankstown, I came over to you. You smiled and you handed me a butterfly necklace. You gave it to me. I didn’t know how to react. I gave you a hug and said thanks. You said to me to think of it as a present for all the things I had done for you. I smiled again. My last words to you were “even though your finished school for the year doesn’t mean that we won’t see each other over the holidays and back at school next year.” Then we went our separate ways.

I REALLY wish I knew that was going to be the last day I ever saw you. I wish I had told you how much I loved you and how much you meant to me. I never got the chance to though. On the 28th November, on the way to school, one of my friends said that a girl in year ten had been in a car accident and passed away. When she said that her name was Christine, I instantly thought about you Vii. I started to worry. But what kept me from completely freaking out was the fact that I knew there were other Christine’s in the year group. I got to school and the flags out the front of the school were at half mast. I knew someone had passed away and I felt saddened. I never expected to find out that it was you who were the one who was killed Vii. I really didn’t. I was sitting in homeroom when Sr. Barbara came onto the intercom. The words she said devastated me. I remember hearing the words Christine Chu, car accident, passed away. I went into complete shock. Tears started to fall from my eyes. They wouldn’t stop. I ran from my homeroom. I hated Sr. Barbara at that moment. I hated her for telling the school and I wanted her to take it back. I couldn’t believe it. There was no way on earth what I had just heard had happened. I spent the entire day in the school chapel. Crying. Ms Spencer and Ms Lockwood spent a lot of the day bringing students into the chapel to have some time alone. You have no idea how much pain your death brought upon the school. I cried so much that day that my body ached with pain and sadness. I wanted it to go away, but the pain only got stronger. I went home that day and all I did was cry. I didn’t want to believe it Vii. I still don’t want to believe it.

Your funeral Vii was another really difficult day. I went along with a bus load of other girls from MSJ. Mrs Barham started crying when we arrived at the church. As soon as I got off the bus, tears started to fall from my eyes again. He was so hard going into the church and seeing your coffin. The amount of flowers which surrounded your coffin and which sat upon the altar was amazing. So many people cared about you Vii. I couldn’t believe how many people came to your funeral. The church was packed. People were everywhere. It showed me how many people’s lives you touched and how many people’s lives were now going to be different. It showed me how much of a special person you were and how many people loved you. The ceremony was so heartfelt and sad. Your whole life was spoken about. At the end of the ceremony MSJ formed a guard of honour to your school song. Everyone was crying. No one could bear to see you leaving the church. Once you had left the church everyone from MSJ just broke down. Teachers were hugging students and everything. Everyone was crying. Mr Vince, Sr. Barbara, Mrs Barham everyone.

Back at the school Vii, the Australian flag was at half mast for you. There were pictures of you around the school. There were prayers to you in the daily bulletin. No one could believe you were gone Vii. It came as such a shock to everyone. A really big shock. It devastated us all.

Exactly a week after you were taken away from us Vii, I went and visited your crash site. I got there and I went weak. The tree that was where the crash site was, was totally covered in flowers and letters to you and pictures. So many people had already been to see where your life was taken from you. Everything was still so fresh. The tyre marks in the ground and on the road were extremely evident. The fence was damaged. There was shattered glass and bits of the car still scattered around. The tree remained standing however, it was damaged to. It really shocked me. This was real. I still didn’t want to believe it though. And to this day, I don’t believe your gone. Something inside me says that your not, and that’s what is keeping my hope alive.

On the 26th December, I went to visit your grave site. It was exactly a month since you passed on. When I arrived at your burial site I broke down. I left you a teddy bear Vii. There were letters and many flowers and things which you really loved. You were the most recently added person in the cemetery at the Vietnamese section. I sat down on the grass in front of your grave site and just cried. I spent a number of hours there with you. I’m going to visit you heaps Vii. No matter what. I will visit both your crash site and your burial site. I guess you would call it a full journey.

I can't believe your gone Vii. I never really got the chance to tell you how much I love you. I want you back Vii. You were too young. You had your entire life ahead of you to live. I can't believe it was taken away from you in a matter of minutes. I can't stop thinking about the night you left us. It’s like a nightmare that won't go away. I know that you fought every minute Vii. You wanted to survive. I know you did. Your body just shut down on you. You were a real fighter Vii. And that’s what you will be remembered as. A fighter. I miss you so much Vii. Please come back and tell us what heaven is like. I can't believe your not here with us anymore. It doesn't seem the same. You touched so many people. I would do anything to have you back here. I hope you are now able to rest at peace Vii. Please watch over me. I’m missing you so much. I have shed so many tears, yet the pain won't leave. Things are so different now. Everywhere I look, things remind me of you. No matter what, you'll always be around. You have left footprints in our hearts which will never be washed away. I don't want to think about a future without you.

There is one thing that pains me so badly Vii. Do you know what it is? On the day you died Vii it was raining. And you said to me on MSN "I don't think I will go out today because of the weather." But then in the afternoon, the sun came out. And you said to me "Look the suns out. Perhaps I will go out after all." And you did. You went out. And it was the last time we ever saw you alive. Why did the sun have to come out? If it had kept raining you wouldn't have gone out. You would still be here with us. I wish the sun had never come out that day. Why did the sun come out? WHY?! Vii you would still be here with us if it didn't.

Vii, please come back. I don't want to believe your gone. You can't be gone. I’m waiting to wake up and find that this was all a dream. You can't have left us. Please... come back Vii. At least just long enough so that I can say a final goodbye and tell you how much I loved you and how much you meant to me. Please Vii? Come back just for a little while. Just so I can see you again. I love you so much Vii. I miss you like crazy. I will never ever forget you and you are always going to be in my heart forever. The times we shared together, both good times and bad will always remembered. These memories will never ever leave my heart. Please watch over me and guide me in the right direction through life. I do promise however, that one day I will see you again. I mean that. Rest in Peace Vii. You can now fly in amongst the angels forever. God has been blessed with such a wonderful gift in you.

Rest in Peace

I can not say,
And I will not say,
That you are dead,
You are just away.

I will always love you Vii and I miss you so much.
Becks. =)
