sad news. guat's mom passed away! my deepest condolences to guat and family. i was only on the phone with guat on saturday to sort of congratulate her for her sudden wedding banquet. doing it because of auntie's condition. so sad to hear that auntie has lost her battle to cancer. but it may be the best way to end her suffering. it has never crossed my mind that my last trip back home to Malaysia would be the last encounter with auntie. i have known her for years while in high school. she was totally a different person when i visit her last December. i could see her suffering but can never feel how painful it is for her to battle this illness. auntie has been brave all these while trying to be positive with the care of her daughter and son, family and friends. Gohonzon will surely protect her in heaven. may auntie rest in peace.
i feel sorry that i couldn't be by guat's side everytime she needed a pat on her shoulder. her father's passing and this time her mom. must be very hard for her. not easy to travel pen-kl-pen-kl these few months while taking care of auntie. i salute her being so filial. all i can do is to send daimoku .... life is so short. i shall dedicate this photo to auntie and uncle.
