The first time Jane Sampson faced death was when she was only ten years old.
It was when she bid farewell to her piano teacher who died in a car accident.
At that time, everyone told her that the teacher was gone, had gone to heaven and wouldn't return.
As a young girl, she was still unfamiliar with the word "death."
She knew the teacher was gone and she would not see him again.
However, at that time, her heart was not in deep anguish, just a little reluctant.
Like her Chinese teacher who taught her for many years had to transfer to another school, she was just a bit reluctant.
She watched the teacher's family crying so hard they could barely stand. At that time, she didn't understand what kind of taste this pain of bidding farewell to a loved one was.
But, when she faced the word "death" again, she finally understood that the emotion she didn't grasp back then was the kind that tears your heart apart.
And this time, it was saying goodbye to Granny Sampton.
