Can't compare!

I was driving my Dad to my Aunt Mona and Uncle Rob's house to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. And I was telling about how I feel so lucky that Mom wasn't your typical "Chinese mom". Judgmental, negative and gossipy are just a few characteristics that I know of. I said if you compare Mom to....didn't even get a chance to finish the sentence before Dad yelled "CAN'T COMPARE!! You can't compare your Mom to those old ladies." Man, he was so passionate about it. I just wish he appreciated Mom more when she was alive. Just a tiny bit.....sigh. 

Here are a couple of pics of the celebration.

We learned last week, our lovely cousin Kathy - wife to Phil in Philly passed away. She was one of the nicest sweetest person I've ever known. We're all driving down tomorrow to attend her service and pay our respect. What can I say, grieving for my Mom still and then a friend whose Dad also passed on the same day....and now Kathy. Enough, I hope it ends now....

Only Por Por can say this to my Dad

On the anniversary of the day we buried my Mom, Dad wanted to visit her. We also stopped by to see Por Por. Now you know, she never has any problems commenting on my hair color and the way I'm dressed. But today she targeted my Dad and said his belly is so big. And that he looked like he was pregnant!!! HAHAHAHA....no filter but at her age who cares. Just enjoy!

6 years down w/o mom

All around me, people are dealing with the loss of either their mom or dad. And I re-live my Mom's passing EVERY single time I hear about their loss. Especially those who are close to me. I feel their pain and all of the emotions that I had dealing with my Mom come rushing back. It's been an emotional weekend, for sure. But I'm not going to let this weekend diminish the progress I've made in the last year. And don't get me wrong, there are times when I still feel blue and wish Mom was around. But it's less painful and I'm secured in knowing I can deal with things without her here. I've had to....probably the worst part of not having my Mom is when I'm experiencing the highs in life. And yes, I know she is up there in heaven smiling down at me but y'all know it's not the same. 

My Mom was joined by her brother and his wife in the last month. Her youngest brother also passed away this year. I take comfort in that she is surrounded by her family. 

I went to see her today and had a couple of moments there. But I also felt at peace. Yes, peace on September 1st.

    I'm fortunate enough to have an awesome job at a biotech company. I'm also blessed to have the bestest of friends in the world - from Castle Square, ATASK, and Jamie Club - you know who you are! Last but not least, I have a family that are always there for me. 

    Because of all the people in my life, awesome opportunities have come my way - working and volunteering in the community. I hope to continue that work with a little help from my friends.
