Season of Love - Memoir of Kyoko Lin

My mother, Kyoko,
was born during the baby boom after World War Two,
and lived under rough conditions.
Like many people in my parents’ generation,
she fought hard to create better lives for herself and for our family.
Because of this effort, we now have prosperity,
and I worry neither about where I’m going to sleep at night
nor where my next bowl of rice will come from.

She had been a loving, caring mother.
She always put my sister and me first-
she provided the best for us to live and study.
She once said to me that despite all the failures she had done in her life,
she’s proud of raising and educating my sister and me.
I feel loved being her beloved son and that’s one thing that’ll never fade away.

After over twenty years of battling with depression,
she was so helpless that she finally gave in.
Nobody could share or ease the stress and pain she dealt with
even though how hard they tried, including me.
So many regrets and guilt I have that I couldn’t go on my own life.
But I know it’s time to let go.
I learned that sometimes when love someone you need to let go.

British Poet David Harkins

“You can remember her only that she is gone,
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
