Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2019. She remained in good spirit and told everyone she felt fine and couldn’t understand, even complained why relatives are coming from oversea to visit her - I knew it was just because she doesn’t want to border others.

We celebrated her 89th and 90th birthday and my dad’s birthday in between - the ‘spring and autumn feasts’ as we called them. These gatherings provided great opportunities for other family members to come visit from HK and spent quality time with her. We had a ball and she enjoyed every minute of it.

By early this year, we knew the cancer has spread to mom’s lungs, she started losing weight and her sense of taste. In her typical strong spirit, she never complained and jokingly said her lumps in her chest are done!

Then came the pandemic and all social activities in her residence stopped. She missed her friends and the daily activities at Mon Sheong.

In July, my sister came as soon as direct flight to Toronto is available. Mom’s mobility was getting limited as her breathing started to border her, again no complains. By the time my sister came out of quarantine towards the end of July and was able to come home, she started losing her independence. She waited patiently for me every morning after breakfast so that I can wheel her for a trip around the complex and say hi to her friends.

Her lungs started giving up in August and we had one last family dinner with her grand children. Over the weekend of August 14th she quietly slipped away from us and passed away surrounded by love ones on Sunday in her sleep, just as she always wanted.

Mom had a full life and blessed in many ways.

I am blessed to have a mom like you, thank you for all the lovely memories we have together, the hospital checkup trips, the Lake Wilcox outings and the daily visit of the small garden...We are also blessed to have this long good-bye....rest now mom and don’t worry about us, as your blessings will stay with us forever!

Love, 您的乖仔💕💕

2019年1月份媽媽被診斷患有乳腺癌,但她態度樂觀,說自己感覺良好,不必擔心。許多海外親友前來探望,她總是說他們過分緊張,有些小題大做。我知道她只是在安慰我們,從不想因自己的病情給他人增添麻煩。

至今年年初,媽媽的癌症已擴散至肺部,她開始消瘦,但從不抱怨與呻吟,並開玩笑的說:現在我的乳房硬塊好像消失了。至7月初,我妹妹憂慮母親的病情,在疫情之下,自香港趕來多倫多探望,其時媽媽的呼吸已受阻不順,行動不便,漸漸失去自理能力。我們遵照醫生的指示,加強護理,每日早餐後,用輪椅推她去公寓附近活動一下,其間媽媽不時與公寓的朋友打下招呼,互祝平安。

媽媽的肺部於8月份已失去功能。記得8月初的一晚,全家祖孫三代共聚晚餐,這可以說是我們和媽媽的最後一次晚餐,當時她基本不能進食,我們亦做好了心理準備。在8月16日晚11時,媽媽在睡眠中悄悄地離開了我們,我們滿含熱淚,靜靜地圍在她的身旁,默默地為她祈禱....

媽媽就這樣離開了我們,悲痛之情,無以言表,欣慰的是她離開時非常安詳,像平時安睡一樣。母親性格開朗,風趣隨和,大家都說她是一位豁達明理的老人,對其十分敬重。近日媽媽病逝,令親朋好友痛失摯友,無不深表哀悼。

親愛的媽媽,多年來,我們與您度過的美好時光,歷歷在目,留下了難以忘懷的記憶,每當看到以往的照片與視像,均不禁悲從中來,潸然淚下。

敬愛的媽媽,作為你的兒子,我為有一位您這樣的母親深感幸運與自豪,偉大的母愛光輝令我一生沐浴在幸福之中,您的養育大恩,我終生不忘,您慈祥的顏容與爽朗的笑聲,永遠銘記在我的心中!

安息吧,媽媽,不用擔心我們,您的祝福將永遠陪伴著我們!護佑著我們!

祝願母親在天之靈,在天堂得到永生!
