In memory of my Mother-In-Law
A tribute to my mother-in-law, Ms Udom Sangkaew.
Born on 29 May 1934, pass on 29 May 2025, age 91years old.
Life moment
When one passes away on their birthday, it means that one life had lived to the fullest.
Whenever my birthday is approaching, I will have that little fear in me as to whether my time in life is upped.
I am always happier after my birthday and not on my birthday.
My wife is the youngest of 6 children. Being the youngest, my wife is the closest one to her mother. Mindful of Mummy 24/7.
In turn, myself was deeply infected and becoming part of her family.
My mother-in-law holds the family together, she managed the household firmly, brought up her children fairly.
She is compassionate for people who are poor, giving free meals to the hungry, food to the needy, shelter to the unwanted etc.
The merits she gathers overflows to my wife.
Confident, clever and resourceful. These 3 words best describe my mother-in-law.
Her mind was sharp till the end, something that I hope to have when my time comes. (Dementia is a sad happening)
Despite her age, she had bushy black hair, that I am so envious of. (btw 20% of mine is white already, in my 60s)
Ms Udom Sangkaew (March 2025)
Thailand health services are commendable.
I have no doubt about the country health standard.
My mother-in-law practically had many procedures done, from heart bypass, knee replacement, eye surgery, stomach cancer and removal of appendix.
She had a cocktail of medicines and diligently consume them. She survived them all. A strong lady.
With such good medical facilities and services, Thailand is really a good place to be, especially for retirement.
What will be of the family without the Matriarch?
Family members have their own nucleus and along with time will be fragmentized.
Now, the families are holding on by the 2 elder sons. Hopefully the families bonding will remain strong if not stronger.
Luckily, there is a physical bonding of togetherness by land. Land parcels ownership are links together between siblings.
Although they have their own land and home, the proximity is close with each other.
She will always be in our hearts and minds, as if she never left us. We will strive to continue our lifestyles the way she taught us, be hardworking, be kind, and be sincere. Simplicity is the works of Life.
