Thank you all for your well wishes. I am truly truly truly touched.
Mom passed away peacefully about 2 hours ago. Her brain was too swollen and there was nothing to be done. We managed to transport her body back to our home before we pull the plug. I am sure she would want it this way.
Just before the paramedics removed the air-tube, I managed to do something that she always wanted from me. I handed her a cup of tea, and Julia handed her a cup of tea too. I want to let mom know that in her eyes, Julia is now my wife. I am sure the mom would have enjoyed that cup of tea. She will surely bless us as she watches from heaven.
It was peaceful, after the tea ceremony, as I was still kneeling beside her, she went away almost immediately as soon as the tube was removed.
Life has indeed changed. As I walked around my house, I can finally see the gigantic effort of hers to put the whole house in order. From all the cleaning she has done… to the little decorations here and there. I realised my mom is a very artistic person.
Mom,
I will do my very best to maintain this house the way it is, I will not disappoint you. I will look after father. I will look after my brother and sis. Bless me with the strength that I need. You’ve done a magnificent job raising 3 of us out of nothing. We are proud of you. You are the best mom we could ever ask for. Thank you for being there for the 29 years I’ve been alive. And I will live according to your teaching for the rest of it.
Farewell… magnificent woman, loving mom.

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
by Ruth Ann Mahaffey
To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
Because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I was to tell you ,
you wouldn't understand.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb,
But I know that you can do it,
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too,
that as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and in pain,
Then you can say to God at night
"my day was not in vain."
And now I am contented
that my life was worthwhile.
I did my part to lend a hand,
and made some people smile.
So if you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going
you're coming here to me.
My condolence on hearing your loss.
My mom passed away under the same circumstances, stroke and hemorrhage 12 years ago. I could relate what you and family has been going through.
Have faith and be brave for everyone, it will get better I assure you.

When I came to your blog, I did not expect to read about this. I'm very sorry. It's hard to lose someone that we love very much! But, your mom is in heaven now. God is looking after her and she's looking after you. Pray for her.
And thank you very much for dropping by my blog. I wish you to take care of yourself.
I'm really sorry about your loss. Continue to live life to the fullest.. your mum will be proud of you.
