The little things in life. =)

The difference between us, is that you seem to think you deserve so little, while I seem to think I deserve a whole lot more. The truth- which I now begin to see- is the exact opposite.

Ah ma, I really miss you. Sometimes, I guess when you're really down and out, things from your comfortable and simple past just gets to you. My ah ma is one. I said, the one thing I was really afraid of with my grandmother's passing, is that I would forget her. I was afraid I would forget the way she looks, her voice when she calls my name, the way she beams when I (or anybody else) greet her at every visit, the way she'd ask us if we want milo (for the kids) or kopi (for the adults) when we went over in the past. Especially the way she beams when her children and grandchildren greeted her. Her smile conveyed a sort of warmth and love that she had for every single member of the family, no less for anyone, i tell you. It broke my heart at the end, when I greeted her, and she didn't respond. That broke my heart the most. Someone asked me what were the lessons that my ah ma taught me. I said "independence", thinking again, I'd say love too.
