Letter to the past =(

Dear Po(granny),

I miss you a lot since your death. I miss going over to your place during weekends to have sumptuous meals and the usual family gatherings. Most of all your laughter and smile. Those times when i was staying at your place I really miss. I still think about you sitting on your chair near the door watching your cable tv, and dozing off halfway when the show was still on. Playing with your double chin is the way of expressing my love to you,though you always feel ticklish and sometimes irritated by it. Hugging you when you were sleeping, feeling your body warmth was so heart touching.

Popo, those jokes you told me, i have clean forgotten it. Sorry Popo. Even though you are old, you still got your sense of humor and i really admire that a lot. Though you were old, you are young at heart. I did not spend as much as time with you like cousin did, but you know me in and out. I remembered once I did not receive the birthday present i wanted, i cut the cake with cousin and i cried silently there. I fed you with cake with cream removed for you, i teared. You knew it and gave me a pat on my shoulder, told me to cheer up and said that you are giving me an ang bao to buy whatever i like on my actual birthday. Nobody knows that i teared even my parents only you knew. Po you really knew me.

You were that one who constantly told me to dare to dream and to pursue my dream, to fight for what i believe in. If it weren’t for you, i would not be here typing this down. I believe you have always wanted to pursue your dream but in the era you were born in, you can’t. Po thank you for teaching me values and principles of life. You’re the best best best gran in the world!!!

Po, you left this world too early and too sudden. I have so much things to talk to you about like my dream, my aspiration, my life. You’re my confidante though sometimes you can be a little bias against me. Life is so different without you around. Everything changed you know Po, everything changed. You were the pillar of the whole family, everyone respect for who you are. I know there were many things you know just that you want to keep mum about it. You hold many secrets in you heart and brought them away with you.

Festivals without you are meaningless. I miss your rice dumplings and those times that i will help you with the wrapping of dumplings. Nobody can do tasty dumplings like you can. You are everything a grandchild wants to have. You were more than a gran to me, YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND!!! People say i resemble you and i am proud of it!!!!!

Po! I really miss you a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot!

I LOVE YOU POPO!!!

Your one and only granddaughter,

Wong Shi Yi(thank you Po for giving me this chinese name!)

   It’s a lovely letter. However, from it, I can see who you were in the past in relation to your grandma but I don’t get the contrast to the person you are today.
