Obituary: HH's mom

HH's mom passed away yesterday morning. She had a recurrence of stomach cancer in November. When I saw her last month, she was already very thin. She was in good spirits then, also encouraging me, just like HH. When I saw her again yesterday, she had lost so much weight. HH said her mum took nothing but glucose-flavoured water the past two weeks.
I felt a bit awkward 'cos I was very early, arriving before the tentage was set up. I felt I had to lend support to HH who had been there for me multiple times during my tunnel period at the hospital. What little I could do, in comparison to her constant encouragement and advice.
HH and her sisters' apparent love for their mum made me rethink about my own mum. As I watched them spending time with her, I felt their sadness even though there wasn't much tears. Much has been shed already since November.
Dear God, please help me to love my mum while she's still here. Please also grant HH's family the peace to know that her mum is now with you. Give them enough rest after the wake and may they grow closer together. Help them cherish each other more. Thank you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
