Father and the water chestnut

Our late Father loved to eat.  One of his favorites was the water chestnut.

Today while out shopping with my sister we remember how father loved water chestnuts.  I recall that he used to painstakingly peel water chestnuts for me, even after I was married, and always smiled very broadly when I devoured the fruits as they are among my favorites too.

Mother's death anniversary

Yesterday, 9th August was my Mother's death anniversary.  In the clip of an eye 15 years had passed by since she passed away, with me by her side, at about 4 am on Sunday morning 9 August 1998.  It was so hard for me to lose my Mother.  I remember I had the ache in my heart for several years after she passed away.  Now the pain has healed, but I still feel so sad and lost when I think about her, the only person in this world who had ever loved me unconditionally and wholeheartedly.
