Mom always tells story about her family.
Last 2 years ago, my uncle came from Singapore to Malaysia to visit us.
It was cute to see that mom actually have someone that she's afraid of.
Or, someone with higher authority than mom :P
My uncle looks very similar to my third uncle, who was also from Singapore.
What's different is, he has a mole, and he speaks with higher authority.
He looked so fit.
My uncle has his own principle of doing things and he's very caring.
He went to see my grandma's graveyard and paid to get the stone recolored
the writings on the tombstone was already faded.
After lunch, before he went back to Singapore,
he gave me red packet of S$ 50. wow.
2 years after, we received a shocking call from my aunt from Singapore,
that this uncle of mine, has diagnosed with cancer 4th stage.
Mom was worried and cried. So did I.
that weekend, mom rushed to make her passport and went to Singapore.
Mom told me that even when she went all the way to Singapore,
first thing that my uncle asked was "Why did you waste your money to come here?"
and the one that I remembered most was, "God is being good to me, I have a good wife, a daughter, a house"
It's good to see him being satisfied with things he got.
Things that he had worked hard for it.
I believe things is sure going to change.
Mom definitely being emo this week with her sickness to care about.
and the news of her brother's death.
I just wished I could lighten my mom's burden.
If I could, I wish the one who was on the hospital bed now is me.
not her.
Rest in peace, uncle.
