When the bell tolls...
Two years ago I couldn't stop crying at Mama Tow's funeral not because I missed her, but because Gonggong Tow looked so lonely. And when Sister Grace told her sister and brother (who returned from the US for the funeral) that I called Mama Tow 'Mama Tow' we ended up all crying and hugging each other.
You see, Mama Tow's grandchildren are all in the States and even though I wasn't related to her by blood, she was like my own granny. That's why we were particularly close.
It isn't the same with Ah Mah, though. It's more because of Watermelon that I feel close to Ah Mah, even though she was also special to me in another way. I miss her...
Well, it's late, in all senses of the word.
