Our last group photo with biao yee ma at our home.
Prepping Leanne for biao yee ma's departure one night, I told her that biao yee ma was very sick and would soon die. She go to heaven first and we would meet her in heaven again one day.
Leanne’s response to me was “ you’ll see her first because you are older and will die before me”.
We have been to biao yee ma’s twice since her departure.
The first time there, Leanne noticed that biao yee ma’s denture was no longer in the glass in the bathroom and said that biao yee ma was not here anymore.
The second time we visited, while using the bathroom again, Leanne asked ‘ why did biao yee ma have to die so soon?"
Auntie Paula gave us a few tea cups that were greatly treasured by biao yee ma and the generations before. When I gave instructions to auntie sherly to carefully pack and put them away in the cabinet, Leanne chirped in and said “these are very precious. When we look at them, we remember biao yee ma”.
I think biao yee ma would be chuckling if she heard these.
