Strumming Some Heartstrings

You left so sudden and so soon. I had no chance to even begin to repay what you did for me. Memories of you suddenly strike back so clearly to me. When I was younger, until now. Every year when I leave I would feel a little heavy hearted because I would look at your face and think, what if I never get to see you anymore? I guess the time really came. This may sound very inappropriate but you were always the one I love most. My heart broke when I reached the parlour. It was then that I realize you are really gone. That I will never hear your voice or see you ever again. Letting you go is probably the hardest thing to do. But I know, you have left and it’s only fair that I let you go so you could be truly rest in peace.

I stayed overnight because the time we had were too short. I had only one day to give my last respect to you. I’m sorry that that is all I could ever do for you.

Everything during the ceremony sounded so positive to all of us. You going to a new world, in a new house with servants, a car with a driver, a great new life. That’s all we tried to imply in our mind so we could go through the day and we could let you go. But the only time I truly felt that was when I saw you being placed next to grandfather. That’s when I see that you both are finally reunited with each other. That’s when I felt like you have gone to a better place. You don’t have to worry bout anything anymore.

I hope that in my next life I could have you as my grandmother again. I love you so much you may not have noticed but I really do.

RIP Ah Ma.
