For you - Mom

I want to write something about Mom. She passed away last year - Jun 1st 2006, at Beijing hospital, she was 71. Mom was a primary school teacher in Ipoh (Ave Maria Convent, Ipoh) and I was studying in the same school where she was teaching. Surprisingly she never teach me in school throughout my 6 years primary in this school, probably it was purposely arranged.

I miss Mom a lot, it is almost a year now since she left us. She left for Beijing to my eldest brother’s house for better nursing care on April 5th 2006, and that was the last time I hugged her, and see her in person. In fact, I knew it very well that I will not be seeing her anymore unless I make it to Beijing within the next few months. So I planned my trip there sometime around Sep 2006, but Mom passed away on Jun 1st, 2006. I couldn’t make it to meet her in Beijing – in fact, this is one of her wish that we (the whole family) can spend a holiday in Beijing with her. I didn’t make it. When I saw her in Beijing, she was cold and she can’t talk to me anymore…I told her I was sorry that I couldn’t make it, I wish she could hear me.

And now Mom is gone…I miss her lot. I believe all of us miss her a lot. She will be really happy if she knows that I made a write up for her in the Internet blogs.
“Tai Lou”, “Yow” and sister Furn, Mom is a great, she really made it for all of us to get together in Beijing for her funeral - at least we were together in Beijing ONCE!

I am sad to know about your mum.
I remember once i saw her in your house in ipoh during our college break many years ago. Time pass really fast, parents gets olders and start to have health problem.

For your information, my dad currently is suffering from Pakinson disease. A kind of no cure sickness. i will think what can i do for them when he is around. And, everytime when i visit him, he will ask about how is my life going on. Seems if our life is going good, that is a good news to them. Don't you think?

Guess your mum think the same too!
