Someone i miss

I remember i told some of my friends that i love my mother the most. In terms of kinship, I guess no one ever asked me who is the next in line. Now i shall unveil, this person, is none other than my grandmother.

Its been abt 12years since her passing and wad she had taught me still leave an impression deep inside my heart. In all my childhood days, i cant recall any instance of her raising her voice at me and siblings. She was such an amiable person, nv distant though she cannot speak mandarin. My hokkien den muz be very bad and i guess she muz have made a lot of effort in trying to decipher wad i was trying to tell her.

It hurts me very much when i see the back view of some of the elders as they walk. It juz reminds me of how she have to make effort to walk. Having to see her walk that way and to recall all this is unbearable. Back view of them simply inflicts sadness.

Whenever, i lay my hands on fish, it would again remind me of these 2 women, who cautioned me before i ate them, abt the bones and abt everything that concern me. And those friends out there, who have done likewise, u have done something that moved me as much as they moved me.
