We're still receiving donations

If you've been planning to donate but haven't got around to it yet, there is still time. We'll probably close accounts at the end of June. So just let me know if you'd like to make a donation to these organisations in mom's name :
• Malaysian Red Crescent Society
• Hospis Malaysia
• Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped
• MAKNA (Majlis Kanser Nasional)
• Community Support Network

Just address your cheque directly to them, or send it to me and leave it to us to divide the amount equally, whichever you please. If you do want to give something, please let me know to expect it. Many thanks.

A Beautiful Saying

“Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” (Author Unknown)

Thank you Yenny, for sending this to me.

We even have photos of her attending a Terry Fox Run!

Personal stories

If you come across any personal stories, tributes or postings about mom, please send me a link. In time, we will post the many comforting condolence messages here on this blog.

We came across this nice one by Marina Mahathir, a feisty lady whom mom admired.

Mom has gracefully taken the hand of God.

It was a day filled with laughter. We had said everything we needed to say to her, and we had heard her 'speak' to us as well. All was forgiven, all love was freely expressed without restraint. That was yesterday.

So today, we just sat in her room, played music and made jokes.

I think that's why she decided that it is ok to leave us. She waited until we were ready. All of us were at home.

When she took her last few breaths, we were all by her side. As her heart gradually stopped beating, she was surrounded by loving kisses and tender touches. She gracefully departed with angels by her side, taking the hand of God.

What a beautiful, graceful passing. She left us with one final beautiful memory. So typical of her. Every gesture is made with deep love and consideration. That's mom.

Another dawn to be grateful for

AM : Mom is still with us, but getting weaker and colder. Still sleeping as peacefully as a baby.
We're topping up her medicines today - we only brought home a 3-day supply from Pantai, and we've run out.

We're thankful to have another day in which to cherish her and care for her. She seems to be most comfy when we are in the room with her and she can hear our voices.
