Dearest Mom,
It has been 10 days since you have moved on but I still want to wish you a happy Mother's Day today. Your name is May and May 1st will never be the same. Though we are now apart and I missed you terribly, I am sure you are at peace and watching over us from above. You can be rest assured that you have left behind a legacy and touched so many lives on earth, particularly mine. You have given me life and saved mine numerous times. I still remember when I was battling with severe asthma and paying frequent visits to the hospital, your patience and perseverance gave me strength and support to make it through those unbearable days. How much I wish I could give it back to you, even just a little, when you were in the hospital bed. I wanted to turn back the clock and relive our lives together. Everywhere I go these days in Hong Kong bring back memories and experience with you in that particular place. Just a few months ago I was thrilled to have you visit and travel the Western US and Canada as a family for Doris' reception as well. Though it was exhausting for all of us and I am sure you were worn out even more, I had the time of my life and I hope the same for you. As I witnessed your fighting the fight in the past couple weeks, your courage and endurance were simply awespiring. Your last words, smiles, and even one single grip on my hand mean so much to me. And it was incredible that you even saved your precious breathe and energy to chat with your friends and even cracked jokes! No wonder Auntie Lau said you are one cute mom and a great friend. It will be hard for me to go back to the States and not listening to your voice any more through your regular weekly phone calls. I really want to say thank you for calling me faithfully every week and even almost daily later on. Your constant support in everything I do gave me tremendous strength to overcome any obstacles in front of me. All the credits in any success in my life definitely go to you, Mom.
Of course dad is missing you but I am glad we have been talking a lot these past few weeks and I learned so much through his experience and wisdom. I wish I had done that more often when you were around. But don't worry, he and all of us are in good hands through many caring relatives and friends. Even little/old BB has been nice and behaving well. She missed you. You are definitely missed by many more.
Mom, you are my best friend on earth and you have helped me to be a better person. I have learned so much, even more so in these few weeks, through your deeds and words. I see God in you. I now vow to be more caring to the family and people around me, strive to do my best in all my endeavors, and paying it forward to serve my fellow men to honor what you have done for us.
I love you Mom and I cannot wait to be reunited with you in the near future. God be with you till we meet again.
Your son,
Raymond
