Our beloved mother passed away peacefully at home on August 9, 2017 at 9:03 am. She was 77 years old.
Mother was born in a scholarly family. She was kind, straightforward, versatile, and full of personal charm. Mother loves Chinese culture, was good at poetry, painting, paper cutting, handcrafts, singing and dancing.
Mother was born at a time of turbulence. At any time, no matter what happened to her, good or bad she treated people equally and never gave up.
Mother was the first person who came to the USA to start a new career. Living in the U.S. for more than thirty years, she still kept a pure heart, and kept spreading Chinese culture. Mother was eager to learn, often told us people need to live and learn. While working full-time she obtained her master's degree at Drexel University near the age of 50.
Mother has been teaching for more than forty years, and her students are at every corner of the world. She treated her students like her own children and she was loved by her students. She acted as both a teacher and a friend to her students, and often chatted with them and exchanged their life insights. During mother's illness, students at home and abroad have sent messages of love and care. From time to time, some of them went to the hospital, rehabilitation center, nursing center and home to help and offer support. The night before mother passed away, a group of students graduated more than 20 years ago gathered at home to see mother. They talked to her and sang songs to her. They said that teacher Yang helped countless international students solving their problems and difficulties. They will not leave their teacher alone. The students stayed with mother until midnight.
Mother treated her friends with humbleness and sincerity. She provided support to her friends during their difficult times. With her friend's support and help, she always insisted that "a small favor shall be repaid with great ones and gratitude". During her illness, mother received the care and support of her Chinese and American friends, mother expressed her gratitude and meanwhile self-blamed herself for bringing them inconveniences.
Mother is the most loving mother, giving us the greatest maternal love. She adhered to traditional Chinese virtues, respecting the old and helping the young.
There was one year mother went to paternal grandparents' home as a guest during new year's time, she prepared New Year's eve dinner all by herself and she was the last one to eat. Grandparents were impressed by this and until many years after, they were praising mother for this from time to time. While my brother was preparing university entrance examination at age of 14, mother did everything possible to help. Twenty years ago, my brother's family immigrated to Canada, before their arrival, mother personally went to Canada twice to arrange every settlement details.
At the age of eighty grandmother and I came to USA, she came back after returning to China for one year, the three of us (grandma, mother and I) lived an enjoyable life since then. When mother's sister and brother visited us in the US, mother always took them along with grandmother to various places for sight-seeing.
Mother helped me start my dental clinic after I graduated. Grandmother and mother both witnessed my wedding and birth of my child, enjoying the heavenly pleasures of four generations living together. Mother dedicated herself to serving grandmother until she passed away at the age of 101. Friends are often envious of grandmother having a filial daughter, meanwhile mother was helping me take care of my son Raymond, teaching him knowledge and how to behave.
I was deeply influenced by mother. Relationship between mother and myself is well beyond average. Mother and I have always said we must have been mother and daughter during our previous lives and we want to be mother and daughter for our future lives. Mother has expressed her wishes to witness Raymond's university graduation ceremony and his wedding.
During mother's last 10 years of her life, she dealt with cancer with courage, active treatment and optimism, she was a real warrior. I was fortunate to have my mother and son traveling the world with me, enjoying the time together. May of this year her cancer came back, mother dealt with it with calmness telling me no matter what happened, we must be strong, never shed tears. We must spend our final days of life and leave this world with smile.
During the last week of mother's life, we made long talks, my mother told me she was sad at the loss of my grandmother, and she was still thinking of my grandmother. She then went on telling me that life and death is a natural law, I must take good care of myself and my son.
Mother took me and Raymond by hand telling Raymond if grandmother passed away, do not cry, you need to comfort your mother. Raymond has inherited mother's character; always reminded me not to cry and be happy in front of the grandmother. The night before mother passed away, with Bob and I sitting in front of mother's bed, mother was fast asleep peacefully until dawn. The next morning, slowly and gradually, my mother's breath was weakening, body temperature was falling, she passed away peacefully.
Dear mother, we do not want you to leave us, we were wondering why God took you away from us. You told us to never complain, longevity and marriage were all pre-determined. You told me that you were not afraid of leaving this world, and you do not have any regrets.
Dear mother, may you go to the heaven and reunite with grandpa and grandma, there is no pain, no more medications and no sorrow, just happiness.
Although not as poetic as my mother, I am writing a poet out of my heart and may you reborn in the World of Bliss.
