Mum's 99th Birthday in Heaven

 
Today is my mother's 99th birtthday. She passed away in 2020.

When she was alive for her own birthday she would make a simple preparation.

Early in the morning she would take out her well dried longevity noodles from the tin. The noodles looked so tempting because they were while neat rolls of goodness. Even a whiff of the well dried wheat threads would get you hungry for a good soup noodle.

then she would boil her freshly slaughtered chicken. Mum never wasted her money to get the market lady to dress her chicken. She must do the slaughtering herself until she was very advanced in her age.

Her chicken soup was always with a few dried shitake mushrooms and hardboiled eggs.

We would have brunch and she would therefore pass a year of her life's calendar.
