Mom

Rest In Peace

[ 24 APR 2015 ]

I’ve never wanted to believe more in God and Heaven than today. After seeing with my very eyes how Mom’s breathing became tougher and tougher, I just want her to be free of all burdens, and to enjoy what awaits her. Other than making pictures and sharing some of my thoughts, I have felt really useless and helpless when she was going through so much.

I’m glad that my brother, who sat next to her and sang to her all the way to the very last second has provided the spiritual guidance for her. In the words of my eldest sister, “Mom, go enjoy yourself in Heaven and look for grandma, the two of you can go cook and learn floral arrangement together.”

Mom, we will fulfil your wish of moving Dad’s niche and yours together.

Thank you Mama, Ah Mi, Mom. We all love you very much and are proud to be your children.

Although it was very early in the morning, our uncles and other relatives came to the hospital to help with the wake arrangements.

I have to say the hospital handled the difficult matters for the bereaved families very elegantly.
