Dear Gong Gong,
I haven't seen you for over 3 months now. Everybody seems to be missing you alot. Lol, the funny thing is, we sometimes feel as if you're among us, like the time Seng and Sam got married, when the fact is, you're so far out of reach...
Bet you must be feeling very proud now. To see your grandchildren gaining responsiblity as a member of the family. We really did have fun creating a mini-campfire in order to produce smoke to ward off evil bloodsuckers from terrorising our parents. My little cousins have all grown up, you need not worry the family breaking up now. They even worked hard, scouting for twigs, leaves and branches, just to keep the flames alive. Not even the younger toddlers threw a tantrum, let alone a sob, although it was hot, smoky and itchy. If there's one lesson we learnt from your departure, that would be to stand together as a family unit. And though you left us in sadness, it has brought the family closer than ever before. You have always been a little peculiar to me you know? Always managing to do your thing, when a little of your granpa-magic is needed. Yes, even when you're no longer in our presence.
Gosh, you looked so pretty decked with flowers today. I hope you liked the pink carnation I brought you, its gentle appearance reminded me of you. You saw your eldest son lead the prayer today, right? I felt so proud of A-Gu, for taking over the position as the one in charged of this extended family. He's doing a good job at it too, just look at the large turn out today. My mom and A-Yees, look to have finally come to terms with your departure. They have accepted that you're in a better place now, back home with God. Lol, they even said they'll bring your favourite black coffee that you like so much, and also some seeds from your favourite herb the next time they visit. A-Yee even said that you could help the seeds grow like you used to if you happened to be free, lol. Ah yes, you've always been our favourite medicine man with that herb. You used to be the only one who cared to take the trouble processing it for our wellbeing. Let me assure you that I've taken up the responsibility to keep circulating that miracle herb in the family. Do bless that my young seedlings grow well =D
Happy Fathers Day, gong gong...
Love, Snow Bell.
