In Loving Memory of Lucas Wang Li

On July 6, our 19-month-old son, Lucas Wang Li, was run over by a car over the head in the parking lot and passed away.

Throughout his brief life, he was surrounded by love and joy, except for the tragic events of July 6. Lucas was constantly filled with happiness and was always immersed in the love of Mom and Dad. His laughter and smile had the power to dispel any troubles. He loved to talk and ask questions. He made it a habit to kiss Mom and Dad and his unborn sibling every day. Whenever he saw pictures of himself, he would smile and recognize his mom and dad.

Lucas was known for his favorite words: "What's this?", "Hello", "Thank you", "Goodbye", and "I love you". Whether at the mall or out on the street, he loved to greet people, often giving high fives to strangers, who couldn't help but laugh at his adorable nature.

He was very loving and enjoyed being around small animals. His favorite animal was a small cat, and he tried to meow like them. He couldn't resist the urge to touch and kiss the stray cats he encountered on the road. He also liked to chase squirrels, birds, and small flying insects. He was curious about everything in the world, and every day he pointed to many things and asked, "What is this?"

He enjoyed imitating his parents, learning how to cook from Mom, and how to clean from Dad. Instead of toys, he preferred real objects such as the spoon used for cooking, the broom used for sweeping the floor, the vacuum cleaner, the tools for installing furniture, and even the computer mouse on Dad's desk – everything in the house became his toy.

He was very sensitive and perceptive, always quick to pick up on the emotional changes of Mom and Dad. He would then come to hug and kiss us. Even when he was wronged, he readily forgave us, often just needing a hug or a kiss to make things right. Sometimes, even when feeling sad, he would try to hold back his tears and force a smile to cheer up us. His sensitivity led us to wonder if he could sense the challenges we faced in caring for his little brother and decided to be more independent. When the accident occurred, Mom prayed for his survival and was willing to do anything to keep him alive. We believed that his departure may have been a selfless act to spare us a life of caring for a possibly paralyzed or disabled child.

He disliked going to sleep because it meant being separated from Mom and Dad. Now, he sleeps eternally, with those pain of injury.

He left us without meaning and without the courage to live, but we knew we had to face it bravely because we had a unborn little brother to take care of.

He's our superman. We wished that on the day of the accident he had Superman's armor and cape, so that he wouldn't get hurt and leave us.

He's so young. There's so much he hasn't done yet. He hasn't had the chance to attend our wedding, meet his grandparents abroad, or even see his soon-to-be-born brother, whom he kisses every day. He also hasn't had the time to say goodbye to his small friends. He didn't even had time to donate his organs before he died.......

We are grateful for the cards we have received from many people during this difficult time. Thanks to them, we have the courage and confidence to move forward from grief. We are reaching out to ask for any donations or assistance to help with various bills and costs during this disaster. If you aren't able to contribute we completely understand and ask that you keep him in your prayers. May God help us in this time of need and thank you in advance.

We really miss him ------ Mom & Dad
