We lost Cousin Cecilia last Thursday (4/4, Friday, Taiwan time). We were not surprised to get the news because we knew it was inevitable. It was a relief because she had suffered so much and for so long. Yet, how could she be gone?
Cecilia was the type of person who cried easily because she was so easily touched. Yet, she was so brave through this whole ordeal fighting for her life. The doctor gave her 2 months this time last year. She out lived that prediction by 10 months.
Cecilia was the youngest of the four kids in her immediate family. She was Mom’s cute little niece with big eyes and dimples when she smiled. Auntie and cousins are heartbroken to lose their little baby. Her husband, will be in pain comes their 30th wedding anniversary on April 21st. It hurts to think that her son no longer has a mom. For the rest of us, we lost another family member. Two in less than a year.
But the comfort is Cecilia no longer suffers. I only wished that I got to say good-bye to her in person.
Where are you now, Sis? Please cross the rainbow safely and rest in peace.
