the woman in my life.
she's a mother to my aunties and uncle,
a grandmother to all my cousins,
a great grandmother to all my cousins children,
and a great great grandmother to all my cousins children's children.
one woman. one woman says it all. she's been bedridden for almost 4 years. 4 years because after my dad passed away, she fell ill. but when i visited her recently, she asked me if i've seen the clothes that she hung at my place. and whatever clothes that she hung was 4 fateful years ago. but to her, it only felt like yesterday that she spoke to me.. yesterday that she was over at my place doing the laundry,
i love my grandmother, but sometimes, it's almost a crime not having to visit her and allowing her to yearn for her grandchildren's presence because knowing that her decendents are all growing up and happy, it gives her a sense of warmth and assurance that all of us are doing well. hmmm..
nonetheless, i can't wait for the renovation to be over and for her to come over so she'll always have company every single day. hopefully, i'll be able to give what she gave me when i was a baby. no matter how hard she may be, i know that she loves me like how she loves everyone else.
ah pek contractor, please hurry up! :)
