We held a simple funeral for Elder Sister.
Elder Sister had always been my Mom’s pride and favorite topic of conversation. Mom didn't want insignificant relatives, friends, or colleagues to see her tragic end, nor did she want outsiders to make a joke of our family, so we didn't invite anyone.
Mom Yan and Dad Yan did not return from America, and Aunt and Uncle did not attend either, though they all sent funeral money.
