This pic was taken on my eldest brother John (middle, yellow shirt) 39th birthday after his trip to the clinic after having his xrays taken for medical purpose.
He was flanked by Dad (left) and Mom (right). Mom kept on ranting on how old she looked in this pic. We took many same shots but she kept asking me to delete the pics. She did looked tired in this pic. Even Frank told me that Mom looked unusually tired and aged when she went for her visiting trip to Sabah to meet Frank in Aug the same year.
Exactly a month, 3 weeks and 4 days after this pic was taken and 11 days after the Sabah trip, she passed away peacefully, leaving this haunting pic of her in my vivid memory of what she said. Frank was awfully devastated...he never saw the signs of her passing. She never get to share her experiences with me like she always do after coming back from any trips she had.
This is one pic I will never forget for the rest of my life bcoz this is one of the last pics I took before her passing.
