meet my 94-year-old ah mah


you were a tyrant, remember?
you used to spit venom to us when you just couldn't stand our naughtiness anymore
i saw you cried once when you were quarreling with sis
when i saw your tears, my heart hurt
i will never forget that feeling for my whole life
how could we hurt our granny's feeling?
i never knew you can cry until that day...
i realised how we never cared about your feeling
you used to talk a lot sometimes bt we just ignored you
we thought it's not important but its actually very important
now, when i asked you about your husband and how was your marriage
you dun seem to remember anymore...
but sometimes you do tell me when u can remember
you always say you give us a lot of troubles
but its not actually...
i never think its difficult to help you out from wheelchair
i never think its hard to bathe for you
i never think its a trouble when i have to answer the same question repeatedly
but you keep saying you are a trouble, you wish to leave this world quickly...
i said never mind 'coz we all are gonna be like you one day
we're gonna be old someday and we hope somebody would take care of us like we take care of you
so, its not a problem at all you know...its not a problem
every time when i help you to cover with a blanket, i will recall how you used to cover me with my blanket when i was small
so, the role is reversed now
you dun sleep much at night
of course you do affect my sleep
but do you know, the moment when you couldn't sleep and we sat together talking nonsense like duck and chicken is always the best moment
thats the memory i shared together with you
and thats only you and me - our memory
you never want to go to anywhere 'coz you are scared of what people might think of you in the wheelchair
ah mah, nobody will talk bad about you
this is what old folks look like...
everybody is the same
nobody is dare to talk bad about you as they're gonna be like that someday
i know you're scared of troubling us
but again its not a problem at all
i'm sorry sometimes being rude to you
but i promise i will take good care of you until the day u're gone
i promise i will not talk loudly to you again
i just want you to be happy...
p/s:just enjoy people helping you out for this is your right.
