你挡

Amid all the joyous occasions, gaiety, feasting and celebration this week, you constantly came to my mind. These 2 words were companions to my memories of you.

你挡. Whenever you could, you did that for me.

Before I could hit the ground while falling backward down the slope, you were there to break my fall. 你挡.

You took care of me in so many little ways.When you are around, I never have to try to fit in. Cos you make me feel like I belong.

On the train, in restaurants, in gatherings, in office, among friends, in so many ways. 你挡.

It is funny how I have never realised the significance of these little things that I used to take for granted. Sometimes, it is only when we look at things from a distance or in retrospective that we learn see things in a different light. For everything that you had ever done for me, Thank you.

It took me so long to learn that neither pride nor fear should ever stand in way of love. In future, I hope I have the courage to overcome my fears and be honest about my feelings instead of hiding behind my pride. The next time I meet someone who can make me laugh the way you did, I will remember the lessons you taught me.
