4 years ago on this very day,
I lost someone very dear to me.
I remember that particular morning,
when the alarm rang at 5am for school,
I received a call on the hp.
Mummy called, to say he has just left us.
I asked if I could miss school today,
I dun have any mood to go to class.
Mummy said No, Fion, you come over after class.
I cried in the shower.
Me & Lulu cried as we were putting on our school shoes.
The busride that morning was extremely long.
I couldnt stop the tears from falling down my cheeks,
as I travelled along that very familar highway.
He is gone.
I didnt even get a last chance to see him.
Never even said goodbye.
Couldnt even visit him at the hospital.
Because it was the SARS period &
every patient could only have 2 visitors.
No goodbyes.
No chance to say I'm sorry
Never again able to say I love You.
He is gone.
Today is my grandpa's 4th death anniversary.
Dear gong gong,
Time flies amazingly fast, its been 4 years since.
I just wan to say, I miss you a lot.
& I am so grateful for everything you have done in the past
for me & with me.
For being there all the times when my parents couldnt.
For taking on the father role because my dad couldnt.
For bringing me up, to be a person with good morals
and strong principles.
If only you were still around,
I know you would be so proud of me.
I really did study hard @ poly to be where I am.
I hope I never let you down.
& until the day we meet again,
take care of yourself.
may you rest in peace
with love,
fiona
