to mommy, from yeong with love
i had forgotten Mother's Day ever since the day she went to a world that doesn't belong to me.
it's funny how it's been almost 8 years you left us, and how you're gradually slipping away from our minds. i don't really know what's happening. is it true when somebody dies, people start forgetting about you? i really don't like that.
your sacrifice and love for us is endearing and unconditional: i can still vividly remember the times you spent with us every Saturdays during swimming, speech and drama at Juliet McCully's/Tian Xia's and piano lessons. grocery shopping at Cold Storage and how we would indulged ourselves with delicious food. also, you'll take the day off to celebrate our birthdays in pre-school and invite the entire family hosting a house party. continuous nagging have became part of our daily routine but it's okay because we know you care. we miss you.
they say God has a plan for everyone: when the news broke, you begged the doctor to have you cured because we're still young and growing. i never understood the times you smile at us even when you're in pain; you know that it's not okay - time is running out. i'll never forgive myself for the lie i had to tell grandma you being away for a holiday. now that you're gone, and grandma too...we feel empty sometimes. then again, life has to go on.
people die, but relationship and memories don't; they'll always be in our hearts. i'll hold the memories that we embraced together closely to my heart, mommy. love you.
to all mothers out there, yeong wishes you happiness and happy mother's day. :)
