Nobody knows as much as my family does about how magnificent My Great-grandma is.
She's 94 this year and she's overcome so many ordeals to be with us today.
She is popular not because she's rich but because she has a kind soul and she is never filled with hatred for anyone.
I am so fortunate to live my whole youth with her
and I am happy she's still with me.
She contributes so much to the society but the society does not appreciate her as much as our family does.
She is an angel who gives all of us hope and confidence.
Since I was young,
she yearns so much for us to visit her
but I always delay our visits as I always give the excuse that we live at the other end of the city.
Have I actually ever wondered that I am one of the only few who has a great-grandma around?
She calls me almost everyday to ask me how we're doing, whether we've eaten, and to live in harmony
but have I ever initiated the call before?
She remembers all of our birthdays
and gives us red packets
not on our birthdays but two months before.
Why is that so?
We visit her so rarely that she is afraid she will not give us the red packet in time for our birthdays.
Have I ever thought this way?
When I was younger,
I had all my family members by my side and I lived in a very beautiful but humble 4 room flat.
My Daddy was there to protect me;
My Mummy was there to give me faith;
My brother had been the cutest thing you'd ever see.
I was never satisfied with what I had.
In fact, I was unhappy with my life.
I wanted so much for a materialistic life
despite the loss of my perfect life.
When I am older,
I do not have all my family members with me.
I have what I used to yearn for:
Freedom, Friends, Money.
But now, I do not require all these.
I just want my family members with me.
What a perfect life I have.
I hope my moments with you will last.
