10/4/08 I MISS YOU MOM! / Steph (daughter)
Hi Mom, it's been awhile since I dreamt of you. Just last week I woke up crying so hard for you. I dreamt you were on a trip and came back suddenly. You had a beautiful smile on your face but you didn't say a word. I was so shocked to see you and grabbed you and held on to you so tight and cried. I begged you to never leave me again and to stay. My heart was breaking because I knew that you had to leave. I just kept begging and crying for you to stay.
I haven't worked on your site much lately. I think I've been trying to avoid it so that I don't open any hurts and bad memories. I was talking to a friend today and told her that I could not believe I left you in the hospital and when I came back a couple of days later, you had changed dramatically. When you died, we stayed by your side. I sat next to you and just cleaned your face. It was very difficult letting you go and more difficult to leave you there. I felt like I was abandoning you.
This year I will be alone, thinking of you on your anniversary. I could not go be with everyone today, but I know you understand. It still feels strange not having you here. Our lives just feel empty, like a huge part is missing. I don't think our lives will ever be the same without you. We are slowly coping to live without you. Sometimes it's not easy, but we know we will see you again Mom.
I love you always Mom and I will never stop missing you and wanting you here.
Love, Steph
I love you Mom! / Nancy Yeo (Daughter in Law ) Hi Mom!
It's almost your two year anniversary. It feels like yesterday when I met you for the first time. I was with Newton and we met you and your family at the LAX Airport. You didn't say much, but I knew right from the start that you were such a kind person with a warm heart. You can just see that from your smiles along with a special look in your eyes that was filled with love. One day my mom came up to me and said "You have a wonderful mother in law." She told me that when I was napping at Milton's house, you came over to me and covered me with a blanket, taking care of me like one of your own. You've always treated me and my family with the utmost respect and love. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. I wish that I had more time to spend with you and get to know you better like your children did. But I do know that I am grateful and honored for even having had the chance to have gotten to know you. It's comforting to know that a person like you exists! I believe that you are truly the nicest, most genuine person that I know. I am glad to know that you are in a better place being taken care of. You deserve it, you've spent your entire life taking care of others, it's your turn now mom. I love you and I miss you dearly.
Love,
Nancy
3rd K / Milton Yeo (Son) Hi mom, you are still fresh in our minds. That sadness of the moment that you are not here anymore still comes and goes. We missed and love you so much.
It doesn't seem that long ago when you were with us, sitting down eating and relaxing at home. Well, many things have past since my 40th. We found out that Liz is expecting. It was a big surprise to both of us, but the kids are excited. We found out it will be a baby girl. And of course, it will be named starting with K. Liz, as of today, is a little over 30 weeks pregnant.
We did managed also to go to the Philippines in July for a month vacation. We saw guama and we talked fondly of you and reminiscent of the old times when you were here and taking care of guama. I don't know how you managed to watch guama, even the last few weeks you were sick. Now that you are gone, everyone's lives has changed somewhat. Guama has been in the Philippines since you past away.
We stopped by Hope Christian H.S. in Manila, and spoke to a few teachers there and they still remembered you, when you were teaching the Kindergarten class. We went to Ha-Yuan, which is where you took us for lunch for treats when we can splurge once in awhile during the school lunch break. I still remember you in that blue teacher uniform.
Last week, the kids started school. Kaitlyn is in 5th grade and Kendrick in 2nd grade now. They still talk about you and remember how you played with them. They missed you so much, wished you were here to see them grow up.
In a few weeks, it will be 2 years since you passed away. It is very strange and a bitter sweet gathering that we will have, but it's just to show that you are still in our hearts and mind, and will give us a chance to catch up with the loved ones since it's been awhile that we had a family gathering. We wanted to also give you the honor and to say that it's been a privilege to be part of your legacy. We are also very blessed and thankful to God to be your children. We are honored to have you as our mom. You are always in our hearts and mind. Love you forever.
6/14/08 I miss you always Mom.... / Steph (daughter) Mom, It's been so hard lately to work on your site and try to write what's in my heart.
In May, Milton turned 40. Marty and I went to Calif. and celebrated it with everyone. We missed having you not there with us. It was nice to get together, but it will never be the same again. I will always feel empty and the void of having you not there. Sometimes it still feels like a dream. Like we are all living in some nightmare together, like it never happened.
I wanted you to know too, that I got a tattoo in honor of you. It's on my left wrist so I can see it all the time. It's the Chinese character for mother and a cross, as a symbol of your love for God. You would probably not be happy that I did that, but I wanted something of you close to me.
Also, Marty and I participated in the Relay for Life. I never thought much about how the event would affect me. When opening ceremonies started, the speaker mentioned the cancer survivors and caregivers. And there was a survivor who spoke about her experience. There were so many people there. The survivors and caregivers walked together and released purple and white balloons into the sky. It was beautiful and painful at the same time to be there. At first I felt anger, thinking why couldn't you have been a survivor. That it's not fair that you had to die like that. Then I felt an overhwelming sadness and ache of just missing you and wishing you were here. Marty and I held each other as we cried for you. We miss you so much!
This month, Newton and Liz had a birthday. We did not get a chance to go be with them to celebrate their birthdays. So much is happening so fast and I can't believe that this October will be 2 years since you went to heaven. Sometimes it still feels like yesterday. It is still so painful and I have to try real hard not think of those bad memories in the hospital.
I miss you Mom! I miss your face, your beautiful face and smile. Your voice, your laugh....I miss your arms around me. I miss you calling us, checking to see how we're doing. I miss your stories of the kids and what's going on with you and Dad. I miss doing your hair, going shopping with you, cuddling with you and hugging you. I miss your cooking, your cards and letters, your piano playing, your beautiful singing voice and I miss you praying for us. As I write this, I feel a lump in my throat and my heart just sinks. I just miss you! I love you and I'll never stop loving you, never stop thinking of you. I'm not so afraid now of leaving this world and dying. Because I know you are there waiting for me and I get to hug you again.
I love you so much Mom! Don't forget me.... Steph
40 years / Milton Yeo (son)
Hi mom, as I love to say. it's two simple words but is the most universal greeting to the most esteemed figure all over. I know you are at a better place and how are you now? Today, I turned 40. You know what that reminds me of? You. What it took for you to get me here. I remember the stories you and dad told people we met, I piece them together since not all the stories are not told to brag but in specific examples to praise our Lord Jesus. First, I know you had a miscarriage before any of us kids were born, then when you were pregnant the second time. You laid in bed most of the time because you had spotting and the doctors advise to not move around since you could suffer another miscarriage. You told me this story before. What a labor of love and a huge sacrifice for you. I remember you were mostly holed up in a small apartment at St. Stephen's Church -- that's the namesake for our sister, Stephanie. Another incident is when I contracted malaria, that is in Jolo. I was still very young but I remember it and everything I remember, it's a vivid scene of you and I. You were always there for me. I also suffered a extreme case of diarrhea and poisoning from drinking the water in Butuan -- I remember this because dad tells the stories of him crying to God and him performing His miracle -- I don't remember how bad it was, but dad said, I almost died for them. But one thing that always sticks out in my mind is that I see you there next time. When I am lying on my bed, you are there next to me. I can see you feeding me and nursing me, changing my shirts, rubbing me with water and alcohol to reduce my fever. Mom, you were always there for me, and it's very painful for me to be at your bedside in the hospital and feel the most helpless feeling in the world. I wished I could have done something. Something that matters. I know God has a better plan for you so I let it go and put my trust in Him. I know you are in good hands. But it does not take away that when it's my turn to be by your side when you are sick, I could not do anything to make you better. But I hope you realized that we loved you so, and couldn't bear having you gone. We missed you dearly and I wanted to let everyone know that not only have you been my mom, but my angel here on earth. Everytime I was so sick, you are the one that is there for me. You are the constant face that i see with your hand wiping the sweat from my forehead. I can even remember you sing for you to comfort me. Thank you for being there for me. I wished you haven't left us so soon. I love you. -Milton
Happy Mother's Day / Milton Yeo (son) Hi mom, Happy Mother's day!!! On this special day, there is only one person that fits this occasion perfectly. But it's not because it's a once a year event, but the fact that we can stop on this day to reflect and give tribute to your sacrifice for us. We missed you every day and long for your company. When we see "mother", we automatically think of you, even when Liz is a mother of two already. You are our only mom and no one can replace that. We don't have a mother here anymore, and it's a big gap in our heart that we could not be replaced. All we have left is our wonderful and precious memories, and the legacy you have left behind for us. i still can't get used to you not being here anymore. It's not only hard to accept, but tough to face that you are not here. We can still picture you sitting here in our couch, eating with us in our dinner table, relaxing by the bed, or next to us in the car. This week is my birthday, can you believe I'm turning 40? It must have been alot of work raising me and making sure I am able to face the world. Making sure I have my stronghold and faith in Jesus, you shelter me and protected me from the wickedness of the world. You watch out for me and let me run with my decision. You've raised me up to be true to myself, to face my own responsibilities and a strong work ethic. You taught me humility, love for others and compassion for the weak and unwanted. You are my shining star and my guiding light. I hope as you look down from heaven that you are proud of me, as your son and approve of the accomplishments I have done. I look up to you as my mother, you don't have to show me that you are great because your greatness shine all over. Did I make you proud? Did I turned out what you envision me to be? Did you approve of the decisions I've made? I love you mom, and I missed you so. I wished you were here, to see me try, to see me make mistakes, to see me pick myself up, to see me raise my kids, to see me with my friends, and to see me love my wife and watch our dad. Were are you now? Stay close to me, don't be too far. I hope one day, we'll see each other again, and I can tell you that you gave it all for us, and you can smile at me and tell me that you love me as much no matter what, and you are proud of me. Happy mother's day, this is your day and we celebrate your life. Mom, you are the best and a wonderful mom to us all. I love you. --Milton
