grandma

grandma passed away this morning...
i was told.
i wasn't there to see her go.

i remember the cooking set she got for me
a tin-ful of coins she saved up and gave me one lunar new year...
the waiting she did downstairs for me to return from kindergarten
and the little treats i got when accompanying her to the corner shop.

grandma passed away this morning...
i wasn't there to see her go.

I'm very sorry for your loss, pal. It's the curse of the expatriot that there's an added grief for us on top of that which everyone at home feels. Keep your chin up, won't you.
