Deeply Missed

At the break of dawn on 11th of Mar 2006,
it was my last sight of the person so dear to me
That very gentle smile of hers faded away.
No tears then, probably it hasnt sink into me.

I don't know why i was holding back, probably she was finally relieved of all the pain going through her. On the 15th of Mar, she was finally cremated. Though tears were shed but i know it wouldn't make a difference. Her memories will be deeply etched in my mind.

She taught me many things, most were about life, family and of course her favourite handicraft. She was selfless, ever so humble, carries with her a unique sense of humour and of course definitely a loving mum to all her kids and grandchildren.

I thought that i would be strong but i'm not. Every single thought of her would bring tears to my eyes. I was so looking forward to my graduation this May so that i could start earning and repaying her for all the love she had poured into my life. I'm feeling so empty now.

Many thanks to those that took time to come down for the wake. Your presence is greatly appreciated.
