When I grew up, we did not get to meet up often, only at the yearly xmas party organised by aunt flo. Though you only asked me simple questions like how I was doing, where I was working, am I attached etc, I remember the way you looked at me, it is the same way whenever i see my little cousins whom i helped my mum take care of when they were babies.
This Chinese New Year you came to my place for a relative chinese new year gathering. It was the first time you saw Jam. When I introed him to you, you smiled and I can sense the relief and even a little of pride that I have finally attached.
Went to see you again at ahma's place. You have become much thinner but there was so much strength and determination in your voice and eyes.
When I saw you at the hospital, you have become even thinner. It pains and saddens me. When I was about to leave, you looked at me for a unusally long while. In my heart, I knew somthing was amiss....
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for taking care of me when I was young.
