It's the Year of the Snake, the year Norm was born. And I can't believe Mom isn't here making all of her calls to her family in NYC and HK. She treasured those moments dishing out her words of wisdom and wishing everyone good health, and lots of wealth for the coming year.
I swore to myself that I would not cry today. It is bad luck and Mom would not be happy with me. And I feel like I've cried so much over the last couple weeks between missing my mom and other personal reasons, I'm all cried out. But I can't help feeling sad which has been the underlying theme of this blog since Mom passed away. And I hope some day that will change but for now.....
I brought some dim sum this am for Dad. And showed him how to use this calling service to call HK. He spoke with Uncles #3 & 4 and Desmond. Then he called NYC and spoke with my Aunt. He seems to be ok but who knows how he is when I leave...it can't be easy for him. We didn't keep the tradition of serving tea. I don't think his heart is into any of the traditions Mom used to follow.
Anyways, I wish everyone lots of happiness, great health and good fortune and wealth this year.
