We don't have to wait for death..
As I have mentioned in my previous entry, I did not know Mrs Lee. I am sad coz I could understand LKY's deep love for her and I feel sad for him instead. Today, as I watched how he hobbled trying to get to the head of the coffin to bend down and gave his last kiss, I just broke down and sobbed. He didn't manage to as it was blocked or something but he managed to place a red rose amidst all the pink carnations and gave his final two kisses to her..and I cried and continued crying for the next 5mins or so. Even as I'm typing this, I am still tearing..it's just soooo sad.
LKY is sooo old and frail now. As mentioned in an entry many many months back, I admire LKY for what he has done for Singapore. I shall not repeat what I had typed previously but no matter what other mean words some people has to say, I think we should really thank LKY for giving us this country in which he has dedicated his life to. I mean, I do not agree with everything that he has done but he is still my idol (apart from Ms. Chia of course!). I am sure some of you have heard me talking bout my admiration for him all these years..he is just that good!
Reflecting on this whole event, I have decided on one thing. To write a letter each to my mum and dad and to thank them for everything that they have done for me. I do not want to wait until I have to write a eulogy, by then it will be too late. I want them to know how I feel and I wanna frame my appreciation in those letters I'm typing.
As I was crying, I could feel LKY's deep and heartfelt love for his wife and I realised how many petty quarrels that I often pick on Hamzah. Quarrels that were unnecessary and often "won" (coz he gives in). I have been childish and yet Hamzah continues being there. With Madam Kwa Geok Choo's passing away, I hope I can be not just a better wife but a better person as well.
Thank You Mrs Lee. I may not have known much about you but you have made a difference. R.I.P.
