wishing for good results.....(but apparently to no avail)
Today is what would have been my ah ma's 88th birthday. Sadly, she left us for a better place. That better place is a container commonly referred to as urn, she 'sits' beside my grandpa and 2 other ah mas. My grandpa was a very charming lad, with girls swooning over him. haha. (I haf 4 ah mas in all from both sides of the family)
Morbid and disrespectful jokes aside, she was a wonderful woman, of class, elegance, wisdom and strength. Shortly before her departure, she managed to prepare a bottle of brand's chicken essence for me during my examinations in May, despite her condition(with feeding tube and walking difficulties). I felt very bad coz I could not do more for her. She was my fav as was I to her.
I was like everything to her in her later years. She doted on me, sometimes spoiling me. Did i mention i resembled my grandpa alot (not the charming part though)? ha! I was unreasonable to her and had cold wars wif her whenever we quarreled but she was always the first to relent. Now that I m older and more mature, I cannot do more to repay her love and kindness.
I have since taken over her room and left the drudgery of sharing a room with my bro. However, i have kept her things exactly the way she had left them hoping against realism that she might come back one day. I am willing to trade everything I possess to see her even just briefly and tell her how much i missed her.
