"Every single person who's drifted in and out of your life is a part of your divinely chosen experience. As you move into the world of inspiration, you'll find it easy - and even necessary - to give thanks for all these people, and to take serious note of what they brought you" - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Chatting with my brother Timothy and Lito and My sister in-law ate Imee. Mama's Yahoo Messenger Icon was Online. Mama was tired that day. She went to work and got so worn out.

On the Road again. Mama is always on my mind. Really worried about her being sick but knowing she will be doing ok. I was just talking to her recently and she was going to be just fine. Prayers to God please let my Mom be OK.

It was on September 18, 2006 - Mama had just passed away at 7AM in the hospital. I couldn't think normal for a quite a long time. I find myself in shock and disbelief and silent tears just kept flowing endlessly. Never have I felt so much pain and sorrow in my entire life. I couldn't fly to the US. I didn't have a visa! I was like losing my mind. I didn't know what to do. My life was falling apart. I called the US Embassy right away. I had to see mama.

I got an emergency appointment at the US Embassy in Vancouver and was finally given a VISA that same day - 4 days after mama had passed away. Everything suddelnly seems surreal at moments and I found out that will be like that for days to come.

Looking down at San Diego from the airplane. I see the place where she spent the last 6 years of her life. My dear mama, we never even got to do the things we have always planned on doing together in San Diego. The sadness and regrets I had. If only I had worked harder on getting a visa last year then maybe we could have done all those. Once again, it seems like everything is surreal. This must be just a bad dream. I go blank. I am there but not really there. Like a zombie I was - sitting there filled with regrets and sadness.

Mama's funeral. I had no desire whatsoever to take photos that day. I saw mama's dead body for the first time in a brown casket. I looked at it and had to tell myself that that is no longer my mom. That was just her body. Mama's essence lives on. The presence of her physical death was too painful for me to deal with. Thanks to my cousin Michelle for taking the camera. It now helps me deal with the reality of mama's passing.

Mama's Burial Service was at the Alpine cemetary. It was a bright and sunny day. It was peaceful and serene day. It felt like summer. I could ever hear the birds chirp. In my mind I know that mama wants me to be happy now. I could almost feel the warmth of her hug and her love telling me she is in a much better place away from all the pain and suffering. That I must let her go now.

September 26, 2007 We buried mama's ashes into the ground. Surreal as it felt to me, I had to snap out of it. Beside her grave I quietly whispered my goodbye to her and thanked her for all the love that she has given me and everyone else. I thanked her life that she had unselfishly shared with me and my family. I asked her to help me heal. I will miss her so much. That I will never ever forget you and the love you have taught me. I will always love you mama. Someday we will be together again all in God's perfect time.

Flying back to Canada - I look out to the clouds and think that mama is back with God and now on a different level of her journey. Her physical journey has come to pass. She had now graduated and now on a much much higher level surrounded by the love of God. It must be beautiful there where she is now. She only lived 56 years.
My family members and relatives in the US who have given me so much love and support when I was at my weakest. I love you all!
Big Hugs,
