Lately Elyse's favourite hobby is to climb up the sofa. One evening, Mommy was scolding her for doing that again. Ah Gong, who was also there, warned Elyse that she may get hurt if she accidentally fall down. Then, she would have to stay in the hospital alone.
"Why?" Elyse asked.
"Because you are injured, so you need to stay in the hospital. Only doctor and nurses will be there. Daddy and Mommy cannot be there", Ah Gong explained.
"But last time when Ah Mah was sick, you are there in the hospital?" Elyse questioned.
Well, Ah Gong and Mommy looked at each other and we laughed. Hmm, this smart little girl actually remembered that and is able to reason with us. Is she too smart for her own good?
Anyway, we know that the sweet memories of Ah Mah have been well kept deep inside our dear darling. It has been almost a year, yet Elyse still misses Ah Mah. Initially, she refused to sing some of the children songs because those songs reminded her of Ah Mah. Yes, Ah Mah had been the teacher of the Sunday School songs to her. Not Mummy. Although Mommy did try to do so, Elyse preferred Ah Mah to teach her. And she enjoyed those moments with Ah Mah. Elyse used to put Ah Gong and Ah Mah to sleep every night back in Subang. However, she doesn't do so nowadays. When we asked her 'why', she told us that reminds her of Ah Mah.
Ah Mah has left a legacy behind, at least in Elyse's heart. How many of us could do so in the people that God has brought across our path?
