Even in her final years, Mom never let go of her love for beauty. She dressed elegantly in matching outfits, her memory remained sharp, her vision was still clear. But eating became more difficult. Swallowing grew harder, and despite many visits to the doctor and changes to her diet, she began to eat less.
One day, all three of her sons — Mark, Scott, and Ian — arrived from Canada to visit her without warning. The joy on her face when she saw them all together was unforgettable. A couple of days later, she left the hospital and came home to spend time with her children.
On Darrick’s birthday, Mom wanted everyone to feel happiness. I invited a stylist to do her hair. That day, she looked radiant and was full of joy. Six days after her sons returned to Canada, Mom stayed in Thailand with us, with Darrick always by her side. She spent most of her time resting, until this evening, when she gently passed away in her sleep.
