1 year of missing you.
At this time, this day last year. I was on the bus most probably, rushing over to uncle's house. Earlier in the afternoon, I had been in school attending weekly Wednesday PT training. And we were playing soccer, I scored a hat trick, the first in my life. But little did I know, it would turn out to be the worst day of my life..
After training, Me and ZhengTing proceeded to Fico to book courts for Friday as we were supposed to play after sports day. We went on 181, it suddenly rained. At around 5.40pm, my dad called me. He was crying. He broke the news to me that Grandma, Ah Ma as we call her, has passed away. It happened around 5.30pm. At that moment, I went into a state of silence. I had nothing to say. My grandma of a good 15 years had passed on abrubtly. I know I was unfilial and I didnt visit her much enough when I heard that she was sick. I blamed myself for not even asking my parents if they were going to visit her. I was heartbroken. So when I reached my uncle's house, I saw her already lifeless but familiar body lying in the middle of the hall. I know its already too late for regret. Many relatives were there, but I was speechless at the sight of my grandma's body. I could only hold my tears in my eyes.
Grandma has been an important figure in our lives, my uncles, aunts, cousins, their children.. She was the soul of the family. And I always remember her birthdays and Chinese New Year gatherings when we would all gather and celebrate, not anymore with her. I would visit her every saturday when I was younger but I dont have the chance to visit her anymore. I remember when we visited her, we always brought food over for her, and she would never fail to ask me to eat. She would ask me how was I doing, if I had eaten, if I was doing ok in school, whether the holidays were here or not...
I would always remember her silky white hair which looked so beautiful. Grandma was one of the people in my life that holds this place in my heart that some people will never reach. Grandma was the most beautiful
person on earth.
If I had the chance, on 14th of Feb of 2009, when she held my hand as I bade her goodbye for unknowingly the last time, I would tell her...
"Ah Ma, 我爱你。"(I love you, Grandma. In mandarin).But its too late now. Its been one year, I wont recover from this.
