“Even in her final days, after chemotherapy had drained her, she still cooked for the whole family, worried that we wouldn’t get to eat her home-cooked meals anymore,” she continued.
“It was as if she was trying to give us one last piece of her, knowing her time was running out.”
She said that her mother was someone who always put her family first before herself and spent her entire life caring for the family.
“She was still so young,” Hong Ling said.
She explained that her mother only started to pursue her own happiness three years ago by doing hobbies such as gardening, practising tai chi and hiking.
“But just as she began to live for herself, she was taken away,” Hong Ling said.
“She is no longer in pain. My dad and I were by her side when she left. We will see her again. Soon.”
