黃愛貞女士 - 我的奶奶 (1935-2020)
生於香港，長於香港，1957年與我老爺何燊培先生結婚，婚後除了繼續在醫院工作，亦把持家務，照顧丈夫兒女日常起居，無微不至。1993隨兒子移民加拿大，1995正式定居於卑詩省高貴林市, 移民後努力融入加國生活，學習英文(ESL)及太極，她雖然謙稱自己兩様學習都長期處于初級狀態，但其實經過多年堅持，兩様都已掌握得很好，英語可以應付日常溝通；而在太極班中，她雖是最年長的學員，可記性及所學招式绝不遜於年輕一輩。奶奶身材嬌小，行動極為靈活，即使已達85高齡，仍然健步如飛。她那堅毅的眼神 、銀灰的頭髮、操著流利廣東話却不太典型的中國面孔，讓我印象深刻難忘。奶奶一月尾在香港發病，二月中回加國，三月中確診癌病，治療過程雖然辛苦，她從沒放棄，努力抗癌，並且反過來安慰身邊親人不用擔心，承諾她一定努力，不負親人所望。五月十二曰早上十時三十四分，奶奶不敵癌魔，于Port Moody Eagle Ridge Hospital主懷安息。彌留時親人陪伴在側，於一片經文聲中安詳離開。奶奶，正如您離開前四天對我説，您已非常盡力。套用您兒子Stephen常用句子：「媽，人生中，您完滿畢業了！」願您一路走好. Love from Kit and Stephen +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 給我最敬愛的奶奶 - 黃愛貞女士， 在我眼中，我的奶奶對家庭抱着義無反顧的付出，對老爺、子女充滿愛着無限的愛，是個好堅強，好精靈，好體貼的人！ 我感覺到自己非常幸福有妳這個奶奶， 妳教了我很多做人處事的道理、烹調方法等等，一一對我來說都好受用！妳也時常給我鼓勵，對我的愛令我非常感動、舒服！……妳的離世，我很心痛！ 雖然今後我只能在心中懷念妳，但我也很想很想在此對妳說 "媽媽我愛妳"，很多謝妳對我的愛舆包容！ 我會以妳作為榜樣！ 媽媽(奶奶)一路好走！永遠懷念妳！ Love from Fornia & Louis ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Say goodbye to my dearest wonderful mother, I know why you always told me to be strong before, because you knew that one day...
