2012.02.07 38/366 Light at the Far End Up in the hill with baba Pete, and it was so relaxed, so calm. It was not the best day for photos, but with baba Pete @furkidsinhk , always a great day for spending time with each other. He keeps teaching me life lessons, and offers me inspirations. There are quite a few things happening in my life which are stressful, and not pleasant. I was blessed to have someone to hear me out, and offer me some fatherly advice. The problems seem smaller, each time after I shared with him. And I see light at the end of these troubles. Everyone needs someone who is dependable, trustable, that can be turned to in needy time. I am grateful to have baba Pete. You are one who are who you are, a Peter. Thanks for being my yay baba. Lots of daughterly love, yuenhan (Taken with Instagram at 石硤尾山頭)
2012.01.15 15/366 Empty Seat at the Dinner Table It was reunion dinner tonight, time for the whole family got together. At the top of the dinner table, next to Grandma, was an empty seat. A seat reserved for a missing family member, the head of this household. The moment I walked in and greeted Grandma, there were tears in our eyes. We hugged, but pulled a straight face and pretended nothing happened, in true Mou family spirit. We are just so not used to showing our feelings, especially a sign of weakness. Mum told me Dad was upset when he got the news, so she sidetracked to some other matters to ease him out. Well, if he doesn’t weep for losing his father, what else would he be sad for. And this is my family. I sat next to Grandma at the dinner table. Dinner started. And we were asked to call Grandpa to eat. “阿爺食飯喇” I couldn’t say the words, or else I couldn’t hold my tears. It was hard. And it was just like another family dinner, the many we had in the last decades. It was the same, but not the same. There won’t be someone sneaking behind me and pinching me, nor hugging me so tight till all the air got squeaked out of my lungs. There won’t be someone kept urging me to eat till I bursted, nor having big bowl of ice-cream after ice-cream with me. We will move on, I know. But for now, let me indulge in the sweet memories. I have you as my Grandpa for so long, just still not long enough. Goodnight, Grandpa. 💔yuenhan (Taken with Instagram at Public Health Laboratory Centre 公共衛生檢測中心)
