tribute to ah chOr
my great grandmother's coming down tomorrow.
which is today actually.
but i have not slpt yet...
so
this would be her last time coming
and hearing that
i dun really know how to react.
hmmm.. no, it's not that she's forecasting her kicking the bucket or something
just that she'll be migrating..
guess that's it, i won't be seeing any signs of her
anymore
i still remember vividly
an occasion when she came by to visit,
when she left,
i refused to give her a hug for some obscure reason
and as i watched her get into the car and leave...
my tears just started flowing.
i was devastated.
and all i ever wanted to do was run after the car
and give her a wide big
HUG
she has this immense talent to sew
the number of pyjamas she made for everyone in the family
wOw
and her patchwork blankets.
filled with family warmth and love
the sounds of the machine,
specs perched on the bridge of the nose
the needle threading through the cloth
piecing together a work of love.
i really miss her
and i guess i forever will
communication does seem to be a problem though
haha.
ours is more of a
point point action, hands waving,
exaggerated facial expressions kinda thing
and the quarrels.
gosh.
have you seen two old grannies at war
gosh.
how adorable.
they fight about the ingredients in a dish!!!
just exactly how i envision my life to be when i grow old
squabbling with my lao de lao gong.
haha
what life
what fufillment
growing old with you....
