Father passed away on 25 January 2013 at the age of 101. Mother went back to her Maker 15 years earlier on 9 August 1998 at the age of 85. I cannot help not thinking of them, every now and then, particularly on days when I feel under the weather. Sometimes I close my eyes and think of my teenage days when both of them were young and when we as children had not a care in the world. Over all, we had a good time as a family, and all 5 of us were well cared for and given good education, although at times like all families, there were hardships and sometimes unhappiness. Thank you father and mother for taking care of us and going through all the thick and thin as a family.

One of the bougainvillea plants I took from father's house (after his death),
and nursed back to health. Considering that no new plants had been added
to the garden in father's house since mother passed away, then this plant
must be at least 16 years or most likely older |
