5 years on... and the tears still flow
8th November 2007.
Today marks the fifth anniversary of my paternal grandad's sad passing after a short battle with lung cancer. They say wounds heal with time and although they do, we inevitably suffer from the scars for life. It's been a good five years and when I allow his memories to come flooding back, from how he used to bring me for late night suppers at Bentayan to the painful last days of his life.. my heart aches and the tears still flow. The gaping hole in me will never heal for sure because every grandfather who cradles their grandchild, every kid who ever knew the love of a grandfather, every person who suffers from cancer, every person who has lost a beloved someone will always remind me of him.
5 years or whatever, he still lives, pretty much alive in our lives. And the tears will never stop flowing.

My dear girl,
I miss my dad too, sometimes i still think of him, like the eagerness to go back to Muar and when reaching Bakariah, walk to the his workplace where he squats to do the flowers etc.just to call him Ah Chit and see him smile. At times I do alos share my tears.
Love from your own Dad here.
