it was just 3 weeks.
too long for her suffering, but too short for us to say goodbye.
when my mum was first hospitalised, she was still concerned whether 我的衣服有没有人洗.. 冰厨有没有牛奶.. 还有面包记得吃, 不然会 expire..
well, i guess these are the little things, the little thoughts that mothers are made of..
my mum was a very brave woman.
when she was told of how bad her condition was, she took it well.
she accepted it very calmly, & told us all that 她不怕死, 她只怕痛.
& becos she was so learned & knowledgeable, we couldnt even bluff her to tell her that everything's going to be okay..
everything happened so quickly, sometimes i also cant quite believe that she's gone.
but at times when i'm sad, & i want to cry.
the thing i constantly repeat to comfort myself
is that at least she is now free from pain & suffering
& i sincerely believe, that she is now at a better place.
