The sudden departure

2014 December 27

Created by Yang 10 years ago
December 27, 2014, a beautiful day for skiing at Pocono mountain, PA. It was the day that we gather to share our life stories and reminiscence the past, a day of celebration. Families gathered together, dumplings were made, and we were coming back from a day of skiing with tired bodies but high spirit. Chengzhang was tired, and we should have known better, this is not 1984. But he fought his might to go back, with Xiaoming's help. And he jumped off the car as fully recovered, in high spirit I am certain. Round of greeting with all the friends and families, even with paled face. We should have known that he was not well. Then he took a shower, as he always wouldn't tolerate the sweat. Tragedy started there, he was having hard time breathing. 911 called, Michael (Xiao Li's husband) helped to start CPR, Jinghong (Rangjiao's wife, a nurse) hurried over to help, then the ambulance arrived, then the ER rush...... All happened so abruptively, none of us could make any sense out of it.....
