Gone, but not forgotten

My mother, Celia Chen
Celia Chen

Today would have been my mother’s 77th birthday. Miss you, Ma.

I hope that somewhere, your spirit is rising from the ashes.

    Her spirit is smiling with all the spirits of the Moms being missed, like mine, passed 12/07/1990. We’ll see them again.

    My Mom passed away at 77 in 1996 – hard to believe it’s been 20 years since she was here with us. I am sure she is out there guiding new souls in their new territory and may cross paths with your mom as she rises out of the ashes. 🙂
