I will treasure you

I still cant comprehend, the fact that my family and I will not be going to Kwun Tong to have dinner with grandma (mama) anymore. It was all too sudden.

The memory is still so vivid. The phone call at almost 2am of Dec13, the taxi ride to hospital, the sight which I will never forget... She just looked as if she was asleep when in fact she has already left us.

Since that night then, every night, I get flash back of my childhood memories when mama and I hung out, we made dinner together, watched cartoons together and discussed about the characters in the cartoon....that was when I was really little. Then mama got older and didnt have the energy to play with me...so we sort of not talking as much, only brief conversations at family dinners sometimes.
She left... I regret not going to have dinner with her 2 weeks ago (I got a cold and was at work til almost 9 that day) ...It's all too late now.
It has been 10 yrs since we last lost someone in the family. Now that I am older, I start to think about what other people close to me might be feeling. I feel their pain too.
Life is really fragile. Don't take the people you love for granted. They might be gone so unexpectedly one day....
So I said to myself... "I will treasure everyone around me."
