因為阿梅和我爸家及我媽家有不同的輩分關係，我稱呼她「姨婆姑」。她曾送給爸媽一套餐桌椅。
日前我接手了這張餐桌。在清潔餐桌時，我在它內部的結構上看到一個原子筆寫的「梅」字。這是一個額外的緣分。
Ms. Hsiu-Mei Cheng was my parents’ matchmaker and one of the relatives my grandma would visit when we traveled to Tainan during my childhood. My grandma called her A-Mei.

Because of her different generational connections to my father’s family and my mother’s family, I called her grandaunt-aunt. She once gave my parents a dining table with matching chairs.
I recently inherited the table. While I was cleaning it, I discovered a ballpoint pen-written character—"Mei"—on its inner structure. It was an unexpected connection to her.
