Dear Ah Ma -2016

Dear Ah Ma,

How have you been? I started this letter earlier this year knowing that I've got limited time to write daily. Can only sneak in some time here and there to pen this post down.

I hope you are well with Ah Gong, Da Jiu and my Xiao Bao where ever you all are now.

Its been a fruitful year for us as I've successfully given birth to twin boys in Feb this year. Are you watching us from above? I'm sure you are. For we managed to get through the difficult 15weeks of my pregnancy and the boys are born healthy. I've dreamed about 4th and 6th grand aunt coming to congratulate me on the boys but not you. And I wondered why. Haha.

Looking at the boys, I couldn't help but think how happy you will be having twin great grand sons. You will be like mummy,  going around telling everybody about them right? I do hope you can see how happy mummy is now with them though she is constantly tired out looking after them.

There will soon be your 1st great grandson from the boys. Ah Xiong had just got married and his boy is due in Nov. It is such a shame that you never got to see us getting married, having children for it will be your greatest joy. But I do know you are happy wherever you are.

Time really flies and this is the 15th year you left us. But still whenever there is a happy occasion, I will be reminded of you and imagine how happy you will be in these occasions. I will still missed the dumplings you specially made for us during dumpling festival. Any dumpling that I tried these years cannot hold a match to yours.

Ah ma, I hope that where ever you are now, you will know that how happy mummy is now. May you watch over her to have good health. Please also watch over us and ensure the boys grow up well and healthy.

Hopefully the next letter I hope I can give you the good news of your favourite grandson having his own children. Till then, stay happie and watch over us where ever you are.

Missing you dearly.

Your eldest grand daughter,
Ah Le
