This post will be to commemorate my Aunt who just passed on.

Aunt Annie passed on on 22nd Feb, 2 days after her birthday. During her 4 day funeral, I held my tears and kept it, having a duty to make sure we did all we can to have her route to the after-life will be a good one, we started chants. Even though i wasn't part of her family, i was her relative, I loved my aunt, she is a kind-hearted and happy person.

Her illness distraught her for many months, my family and my other relatives was terribly worried about her. But her strong stubborn character, still lives on during her final days of her chapter.

She kept her uneasyness due to her illness and knew that it is too late for her even with the use of treatments. All of it...My mom taught her various dishes, my aunt knew she had to make use of these few weeks to give more love to her family.

As i dedicate this post to her, my tears rolled down my cheek, heart ached terribly and yet can't express what i'm feeling now.

During my family visit, she put $60 hong bao money for my brother and me, I'd felt a hunch from her actions but decided to ignore it, probably due to the fact that we haven't visited her for many years. After she passed on, I'd truely know why, that's why it hurts more, because of the kindness she still gives us.

Pressing onto my feelings at the funneral, I'd suppressed my tears even though it's hard. Chanting prayers for you is the only thing I'd can do for you. My mom, my brother have tears and their eyes and even cried.
My Dad and I suppressed our tears, not because we are strong emotionally but because we have to be strong for all those who are sad and especially for my Uncle Bernard and his kids.

Words for you Aunt Annie, " You are a stubborn Aunt, yet because of this you are kind, don't let us worry about you anymore. We love you."
