My Peppermint Summer

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

From 200m away,

I've been holding back my tears from the moment the news was broke to me. I remember how my heart sank instantly and I literally ran home in high heels, across the newly built overhead bridge, even though my feet was hurting like mad. Panicking like a little girl who is being front with big stray dogs when there were random uncles waiting for the lift with me, the fear and phobia of past experience overshadowed me. Fighting between the urgency to get home and the fear of my own, I missed two lifts before going up on my own.

Out of the lift and rushed home to mummy who was holding back her tears, talking to me with a voice that seems like something is choking her, I could almost see her breaking down any moment. I went into his room, and feel his warmth for the last time.

I'll miss you. Actually I already do..

But I'll rest in the knowledge that you are at a better place now, with grandma by your side just like old times.

&I love you, always.

Love, Zhaolin
