This afternoon, i missed my mom. I could feel her presence and yet i missed her. Today was our chinese new year celebrations in Hospis as we made different dishes for patients and volunteers alike to savour. There was make up and photography session, which is like now a norm we do for the patients.
It was a really good time, and i felt my prayers answered as everyone was in good cheer. Dr Tuen made the achar(pickle) and it tasted and looked even like what my mom would cook. As i spoke of this that this was so much like how my mom would make the achar, i suddenly teared. I felt my mom's presence, and at the same time i missed her so terribly. It has been such a long long time that i have cried over my mom or missed her but This afternoon i really missed her terribly.
As i reflect and articulate it in my mind, i realised the achar pickles really was the trigger. However, what i actually felt this afternoon with the activities in Day Care and the lunch was warmth, care and LOVE as the "Family gathered". All these i resonated and associated it with mom. She was LOVE and she brought the family together....
I think my tears are now dried up and i want to end this entry on a positive note. I am grateful to God for all He provides, my life and my family and my friends.I want to remember the joy.........
