A Great Loss

Thinking of you sitting on your favourite spot with everything by your side, gluing your eyes on the television set and glancing over your garden filled with flowers and plants once in a while, I wish I could just sit right opposite you and watch you do what you always do.

I wish I could still wake up to the sound of you saying, "khi lai liao loh" and then waking up to the food I like. And having awesome food for lunch and tea.

I used to love watching you cook in the kitchen and love it more when you ask me to help you out with the cutting or washing. Till I realized one thing now, after the collected hours spent with you in the kitchen before, that was the last I ever did kitchen chores willingly.

The constant reminder of studying well and be someone in the future has been my principles. You also reminded me that the Chinese language is very important and right up till now I can clearly visualize the way you've said it to me. Sadly, that's the one thing I'm finding it very hard to achieve.

These very insignificant happenings are indeed important moments in the foundations of my life. You've been the grandma I've always looked up to and respect. Till the very last breath you took, you were never selfish and you were very patient.

It's been a while now since you left this world to a better place in Heaven. Things are not the same anymore without you. Some things are better left unsaid.

I greatly miss you. I really do. I wish I could take you by the hand one more time and enjoy the sight of beautiful flowers together.
