Mom
Mom passed away 01/21/2022 in Taiwan. 01/28/2022 cremation.
Though my mom went back to Taiwan years ago, since then neither she or me visited each.
Thank my sister and my niece has been taking care her since.
Today was the first time that I felt like I am an orphan.
Somehow the day before I did have a bad feeling about her health condition. It probably is the mother-child affinity.
I cannot tell my kids about it now, too upset to open this conversation with them.
How I wish I were them, whenever I saw whoever can afford or willing to take care of elderly.
Fear
Thank all the people treated/treating me wrong.
Kitchen: I learned to treat myself nicely, like buy myself a membership for the arboretum.
Ex. A.C.: That’s how I get to work 30 minutes longer every day of the weekday. Therefore, I earned and learn more since then.
A.C.: Work extra works and again learned even more. Took one days off since I worked in this company four years ago.
P.D.: Thank her for everything for couldn’t do anything right. Took four days off since I have worked in this company four years ago. So I can stay home with the kids more.
First impressions:
The lead social worker: By that I doubt that I should stay the first minute I work there. Thinking if the social worker of the company was like that don’t mention the rest of the coworkers. Thank God I found out later that I was wrong.
P.T.: Greet and welcome me warmly.
Personal care: Patiently nicely help this newcomer (me).
Kitchen: Courteous to me at the beginning.
Ex. A.C.: Treated me like she is the boss of me. Treated seniors rudely undercover.
O.T.: Didn’t even talk to me until long after I work there.
Ex. P.D.: Treated me like her friend and every question that I have. Learn a lot from her. Protect me from the harm from other coworkers.
Boss: Learn the whole lot from her by watching how she is dealing/interact with things and people.
My son got the job because her.
Protect me from the harm from other coworkers.
A boss that is capable to pay salary.
And remembered that four years ago, my prayer for I was eagerly looking for a new job. I pray that I can have a job won’t need to commute through freeway and work for a nonprofit company.

A Not Quite Happy Story
This past Sunday, as usual, we had our once a week family ritual, eat out. And as usual, I was waiting outside in the car as the kids getting ready. Then I got a message from my niece in Taiwan said my mom was in the ER with critical condition. So I told my older son to get our lunch delivered instead. Also, let them know that I was going to get the milk which I planned to after the lunch. At the same time messaging my niece to take good care of herself and her mom (my sister) especially during the pandemic.
Too upset to tell my kids this terrible news I tried to calm myself down (crying) before I can start the car. When I arrived at the grocery store’s parking lot, I cried again so I was able to walk in the store to get one gallon of milk, checked out quickly walked back to the car, I cried again so I was able to drive home, arrived home and again I cried in the car before I was able to walk in the house and put the milk in the fridge. And once again, I walked out the house to the yard, crying and praying. Waited until the kids finished their lunch, then went the house, grab my lunch and ate in my room.
A couple hours later, which was the next day in the early Monday morning around two something I got the message from my niece said my mom is ok.
My mom’s health declined rapidly lately been in and out of the hospital couple of times.

By the way the restaurant that we were ordering from was called Malbec Market I found out just now (Tuesday).

Angels
Thank you angels!
Yes, I do need to wear two socks indoors, I love chocolate and I was planning to make some popcorn at Christmas Day and also thought about to preparing cookies for Santa this year. And much more.
Amazing!

Silly Me
Not until today that I know that “PRUNE” is actually “THE DRY PLUM”.
Also finally get to find the “PRUNE” without adding “PRESERVATIVES” at Trader Joe's.
