         我们的母亲宋明翠，生于1934年12/29（农历）中国四川，于2025年7月18日上午10:16点终老于美国弗吉尼亚州，离开时安静而又平和.               

 

母亲出生于资阳小村农家，故乡山清水秀让母亲出落得亭亭玉立，落落大方.母亲年轻时从故乡辗转来到成都，和父亲刁兴发相识并结婚，母亲生前育有7个子女（其中长女长子卒于60年代初大饥荒），在上世纪50，60年代物质匮乏时期，母亲和父亲携手并肩，用微薄的工资和勤劳的双手含辛茹苦地把五个女儿抚养成人，接受教育，授予生活的技能和做人的智慧，虽粗食布衣，却积极向上，家风高洁，待人接物，行为处事如名门闺秀，众子女皆有所作为，没有辜负父亲和母亲的爱与期望.           

 

后来母亲年事渐长，又不辞辛劳，义不容辞地承担起了照顾孙辈的责任，家里的每一个孙辈都是经由母亲的双手捧著成长，就算后来远渡重洋到了美国，最后的一个小孙子羊羊，也是在姥姥的关爱之下长大成人的.这是姥姥对我们的恩惠，能够在姥姥的怀抱中听着姥姥的歌声和童谣度过美好的童年时光，是六个孙儿孙女的莫大的荣幸.         

 

母亲率性乐观，敢爱敢恨，见到不喜欢的人和事往往一针见血地指出来，绝不放任姑息.           

 

母亲坚强勇敢，无数次地和病魔抗争，每次都是母亲赢，一次又一次顽强地站起来，继续她的快乐人生，直至最后的功德圆满，含笑辞别.           

 

母亲是我们的榜样，我们要像你一样对家人关心，呵护，对生活充满热爱，对周遭世界的不如意要积极地去面对，用自己的努力来让自己的人生变得更加的美好.           

 

我们会想你的母亲，你爽朗的笑容，每次过年时的歌声，你碎碎念对我们的关心，你的爱将永远与我们同在.           

 

妈妈一路走好，来生我们再做母女.                                              女儿:

Our mother, Min Cui Song, was born on December 29, 1934 (Lunar calendar) in Sichuan, China. She passed away at 10:16 am on July 18, 2025 in Virginia, USA. She left quietly and peacefully.

 

Our mother was born in a small village in Ziyang. The beautiful scenery of her hometown made her graceful and elegant. When she was young, she came to Chengdu from her hometown, met and married our father Diao Xingfa. 

She had 7 children (the eldest daughter and eldest son died in the great famine in the early 1960s). In the material scarcity period of the 1950s and 1960s, my mother and father worked hand in hand, raised five daughters with meager wages and hard-working hands, and gave them education, life skills and wisdom. 

 

Although they were poor, they were positive, had a noble family style, treated people, and behaved like famous ladies. All the children made achievements and lived up to the love and expectations of their father and mother.

 

Later, as my mother grew older, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her grandchildren without any hesitation. Every grandchild in the family grew up in the hands of her mother. Even though she later traveled across the ocean to the United States, the last grandson, Yangyang, also grew up under the care of her grandmother. This is the favor of my grandmother to us. It is a great honor for the six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren to spend a wonderful childhood in my grandmother's arms listening to her songs and nursery rhymes.

 

My mother is straightforward and optimistic, dares to love and hate, and often points out people and things she doesn't like, and never tolerates them.

My mother is strong and brave. She fought against the disease countless times, and she won every time. She stood up tenaciously again and again, and continued her happy life until the final merit was fulfilled and she said goodbye with a smile.

 

My mother is our role model. We should care and cherish our family like you, be full of love for life, face the unsatisfactory world around us positively, and use our own efforts to make our lives better.

We will miss your mother, your bright smile, your singing during every Chinese New Year, your constant concern for us, and your love will always be with us.

 

Rest in peace, mom, we will be mother and daughter again in the next life.
