Final Story of My Mother 媽媽最後的故事
這是我在復活節期間所發生的事：
| 20/3/2008 (聖周四) | 爸爸媽媽從詩巫（家鄉）駕車到了三瑪拉漢（我念書的地方），為探望我外公外婆（在古晉）。 |
|---|---|
| 21/3/2008 (受難節) | 爸爸媽媽與我約好在教堂參與受難節禮儀。 |
| 22/3/2008 (聖周六) | 爸爸媽媽與我約好，和親戚一起吃午餐（肉骨茶）。 |
| 23/3/2008 (復活節) | 爸爸媽媽要駕車回家，因為星期一開工，於是…… |
| 7.30am | 與我在教堂見面，參與主日彌撒。 |
| 9點多 | 吃早餐。 |
| 11點多 | 到我住的地方拿些東西，便啟程。 因為一個人在家（住的地方），所以就玩電腦。 |
| 3點多 | 開始下雨。 |
| 5點多 | 我想爸爸媽媽應該到家了，就繼續等電話。 結果電話來了，是我不知道的電話號碼。 醫院打來，說我爸爸車禍重傷，叫我快到泗里街（詩巫與古晉之間的小鎮）。 我便問媽媽傷勢如何。 醫生跟我說抱歉…… 於是我叫醫生幫忙通知哥哥（在詩巫）。 因為我交通不方便，便致電給舅舅（在古晉），叫他載我。 接著，我便哀號痛哭。 哥哥致電給我，告訴我說：“一定要幫阿爸祈禱，已經失去一個了，一定要救回一個，知道嗎？” 我便傳送短訊給我所有認識的朋友（同一個教會的），要求他們為我父親祈禱。 姐姐也致電給我…… |
| 8點多 | 舅舅等人到我家載我。 於是我們便啟程。 |
| 9點多 | 哥哥便傳短訊給我，告訴我直接回詩巫。 於是我們便改變行程。訂翌日最早班機的機票。 我便去姨姨家過夜。 |
| 24/3/2008 (星期一) | 到詩巫。 |
| 早上 | 哥哥載我去緊急病房探望爸爸。 當我到時，爸爸開始有點清醒。 於是，哥哥對爸爸說：“阿爸，要堅強，知道嗎？一定要度過這一關。” 之後便回家。 辦理很多的事情。 |
| 11.00am | 姐姐到詩巫。 |
| 7.30pm | 很多教堂認識的朋友到我家為媽媽祈禱。 |
| 9點多 | 叔叔嬸嬸從吉隆坡來到我家。 |
| 25/3/2008 (星期二) | 送殯。 |
| 凌晨4點多 | 啟程去泗里街。 |
| 凌晨6點多 | 蓋棺。啟程回詩巫。 |
| 8.00am | 到了教堂，葬禮彌撒。 神父說了很多。然我落淚的就是：“本來，有一個人現在應該在這個葬禮彌撒。可惜他不能來。他現在在醫院緊急病房裡。” 看到媽媽的親戚朋友同事，我不僅流淚。 彌撒完畢，便啟程去墓園。 |
| 10點左右 | 到達墓園，下葬。 媽媽的人生寫下了句號。她將自己的人生道理留給了自己的子女。 |
This is what was happened to me during the Easter season:
| 20/3/2008 (Holy Thursday) | Parents driving car from Sibu (home town) to Kota Samarahan (where I am studying) to visit grand parents (in Kuching). |
|---|---|
| 21/3/2008 (Good Friday) | Parents and I meet in the church to participate the Good Friday service. |
| 22/3/2008 (Holy Saturday) | Parents, relatives and I meet together for lunch. |
| 23/3/2008 (Easter Sunday) | Parents want to drive car to go home, because Monday will start working. Then… |
| 7.30am | Meet with me in church to celebrate Easter Sunday. |
| 9.00am plus | Breakfast. |
| 11.00am plus | Go to where I stay to get something, then start the journey. Because I am alone, I play the computer game. |
| 3.00pm plus | Start raining. |
| 5.00pm plus | I think parents should arrive home, so I wait for the phone call. Then a incoming call, which the phone number I don’t know. A call from hospital, tell me that my father has an accident, in a critical state, ask me to go to Sarikei (a small town between Sibu and Kuching) immediately. Then I ask how is my mother. The doctor say “sorry”… Then I ask the doctor to inform my brother (in Sibu). Because of transport problem, I call my uncle (in Kuching) to bring me. Then, I cry loudly. Brother call me and say, “You must pray for father, already lost one, we must save at least one, okay?” I then send SMS to all my friends (who are in the same church), ask them to pray for my father. Then sister call me… |
| 8.00pm plus | Uncle and others arrive my house to bring me. |
| 9.00pm plus | Brother send SMS to me, tell me go back Sibu directly. Then we change our journey. Book for the earliest air ticket for the next day. I stay at my auntie’s house. |
| 24/3/2008 (Monday) | Arrive at Sibu. |
| Morning | Brother bring me to see father in ICU. When I arrived, father start feeling conscious a little bit. Then brother say to father, “Father, must be tough, okay? Must pass this stage.” Then we go home. Manage a lot of things. |
| 11.00am | Sister arrive at Sibu. |
| 7.30pm | A lot of friends from church come to my house to pray for my mother. |
| 9.00pm plus | Paternal uncle and auntie arrive my house. |
| 25/3/2008 (Tuesday) | Funeral. |
| 4.00am plus | Go to Sarikei. |
| 6.00am plus | See my mother’s body. Send back to Sibu. |
| 8.00am | Arrive at the church, funeral mass. The priest say a lot of things. Which touches me is, “Actually, there is a person should attend this funeral mass. Unfortunately, he cannot come. He is in the hospital ICU now.” I see my mother’s relatives, friends, colleagues, then I tear. Mass is finished, we then go to the cemetery. |
| About 10.00am | Arrive at cemetery, buried. Mother’s life is written with a full stop. She gives her principles of life for her own children. |
