I had work on Tuesday and I was caring for an old lady aged about 65+. She often used her fingers to ‘comb’ or tidy her hair, and the way she did it reminded me alot of Mama. This is not the first time that I’m reminded of my grandma when I care for some old ladies.. So A would comb her hair not with her fingertips but with her fingers extended and mostly the middle phalanges in contact with her hair, so similar to how Mama did so. To increase the resemblance, A had curly hair, just like Mama.

I miss you so much Mama, I wish I could have been there for you while you were burdened with the aftermath of your stroke. I wish I said I love you before I left for Australia. I wish I didn’t only go back only after you passed away. I know you will understand, and I will make sure I will care for others with all my heart, especially my mother.
