Aggrieved August

August started in the worst way possible - 外公 departed in the early hours of 1st August.  I still can't accept that he's the first family member to succumb to Covid-19.  It pains me so much that I can't bid him a proper farewell and how there are still so many things I wish to do with him.  Mom is taking it quite hard, but I believe she will pull through somehow.  Sometime in mid-September next month, mom will return to Palembang again for the 49th day prayers.  I've been having mixed feelings and emotions of sorts throughout this month.

Dear 外公

Dear 外公, I can't believe its your turn to go now.  I thought we could meet again in Singapore once this whole Covid drama is over, but it seems like things just never go the way we want them to be.  I still have so many things to do with you, so many things to give you and all..  We both love Seiko mechanical watches rite?  How I wish I could talk with you more about them and get you another one.  Of all my grandparents I spend the least time with you and 外婆, especially since her early passing.  We rarely had the chance to talk a lot.  Right now I know that 妈妈 must be having a hard time since she's the one who's been taking care of things since your passing.  I hope you know how much she cares for you deeply.
