Mother

My Mother's death took the family and I by surprise because she was doing so well until her last breath.  In a blink of a eye your passing was gone from me, their will be no other like you and more importantly I will miss your motherly love towards me. She is the sweetest mother of all and I won't find another one like you.

My mother is a person of few words. She doesn't express of her love towards anyone. But she shows her love by buying gifts for kids and to those she love. Most Hmong parents are not expressive and affection towards their kids but they only display their love to their kids by showing, providing or doing things for them. Hopefully in this generation and the following generations will be more expressive and affections towards their kids.

One of the most important things in Mom’s life was sewing, and she took great pride in her sewing traditional Hmong clothing. Traditional Hmong clothing sewer are very special people. It takes patience and perseverance and a love for creativity for sewing beautiful Hmong clothing such as hats, pants, dress and shirts along with the intricate Hmong patterns on them. There is a beauty and a satisfaction in seeing the result of her sewing and come to fruition. There is a peacefulness that can come over us as we love what we do and it shows in her work.

She lived a wonderful legacy for us to follow. She is a wonderful example to follow. She kept focused on what is truly important to her, which was her husband and children, her family was first, not only when her life was easy, but when it was difficult too. My Mother was blessed with so much by our Lord Jesus Christ, she never forget to be thankful to God even when life was difficult, somehow Mom kept her faith through all of her trials and tribulation.

She thought me everything through her actions to love when they are alive and doing well as we say in Hmong, "eat well and live well".

As you left us to the after life, God speed on your journey to be with my father, my sisters and God in the heavens. May you once in awhile look back at your kids and grandkids to see we are doing well and on the right path in life.  That we follow your demeanor that you done and set forth for us to follow...

Can't wait to see you again my Mother!

Love your son,

Thank you for thinking of me on my darkest days. Things hasn't been the same without my mother. However I've been keeping myself busy with the new business. Also I've been praying for you as well. SS
