Death becomes part of life, it is expected and predictable. Yet, who can be ready to receive a death news?
姨媽 is a traditional chinese woman born in a typical family in Macau. She is the 5th sister in the family, my mom's elder sister. My impression of 姨媽 is very much dated back to those days our family still live in Hong Kong. She is a real good chef. Her home is always our gathering place for family get-together. There is a missing link for the recent years as her Alzheimer's disease become severe. She lost her ability to communicate and take care of herself. One of the purpose of my stay in HK was to evangelize to her while she is in her sick bed. Time is running out, and she didn't make it til I am complete with the mission. It is a time to learn submissive to God's time table.
姨媽 lived. Although with no spectacular legacy, her sacrificial love to her family is very much appreciated and remembered. It is nothing to be mentioned for those who love for a reward, but those who love with no condition should be respected and remembered. 姨媽's entire life s 'giving', her love to her children although not rewarded in her final years by her two sons, paid back by her always loving daughter.
