conversation... on my mom's wake
Me (to my 10 year old cousin) : Zephyr... Why arent you in school today ???
Zephyr: *looks at me with his innocent eyes*.... because i want to see yi-yi for the last time....after this, i cant see her anymore.....
I couldnt help it and i burst out crying straight after that.....
I was standing alone... looking lost.....
A car pulled up beside me and jie walked straight towards me.... gave me a pat on my shoulder....
I said "she is gone"
he looks at me....and he was trying not to cry..... gave me a hug.... "its okay she will be fine and she needs you to be fine".....
Xiong came up to me and told me "you need to be a very strong girl okay.... your mom needs you to be also.... and i believe that you can be one"..... gave me a tight squeeze and tears just started rolling down both our eyes.....
Eva came late.... then told me... "i will be here for you ok.... remember we live real close to each other.... we are just inches away.... we will stand by each other yeah"
To keith, even though you didnt talked to me..... but you were always there... helping out... making sure everything is fine....that i am okay.... that everybody is fine and things are in place.....for that, i thanked you
i am grateful.....
to people who attended the wake.... like tingyi, eve, cat, fizzah, sis, branson, mandy, daryl, liting n huiwen... thank you.... i am really touched....
to ben, cherie, bryan, tingli, diva, grace, michelle, dan, shidah, catherine, alvin, nancy, mary, jane, may, my bosses, sham,my cousins (esp xiong, jie, eva and keith) and the rest... thanx for everything... i am really comforted and i am damn grateful.......
