Mum told me something that my aunt told her before she passed on:
I still remember, I was going home from tuition a few years ago. Mum was waiting for me under our block to tell me the news, she couldn't bear to tell me over the phone knowing how bloody close me and my aunt was. To me, my aunt understood me better than my mum would ever will. Mind you, I stay at Hougang and she stayed at Bukit Batok and our relationship was like mother and daughter. She always stood by my side, cooked the best laksa ever, bought everything I wanted, played Lotto with the rest of my super huge extended family. I'd always wanted to stay over at her house which my mum would forbid but give in when my aunt convinced her that there was where I wanted to be.
Everything changed when my aunt left. I think my mum misinterpreted her words and became unnecessarily overprotective and irritating -.-. My aunt's husband remarried on the exact day of her 1 year death anniversary which made me hate his guts. My aunt's daughter cropped up at home, never coming out. I had no one to run to anymore, I hated how hypocrite my mum was, saying that playing Lotto was gambling so I wasn't allowed to play it anymore.
I've never visited her grave at the cemetery before, you can say that I don't accept her passing on, but after all these years, I still remember her face crystal clear.
I miss you.
Treasure your daughter before you lose her
