ok.. 2nd post in a day... goes to show how bored i am!!!
Alright... i just got back from lunch N a visit to my grandma @ TTSH... she was admitted last night coz of lung infection.. which sounds serious.. but actually it's just that she has too much phlegm and thus, havin difficulty breathing... But all's good and she will be discharged tomorrow.. Just that when i was there, she looked so frail and tiny in bed... My heart was torn.. even though we're not very close like most other grandparent and grandchildren relationships, i still love her very much.. Seein her and yet not being able to ease her discomfort in any way, that sucks...
So while i was there, i just held her fragile hands in mine, give her a massage and tried feedin her, but she just had no appetite.. .and was very quiet... but she's normally quiet, so no complaints...
yup, so that was a hellava emotional roller coaster over lunch and now i'm just moody with lotsa thoughts.. like i cant help but think about how everyone's life starts off in a hospital and that every woman has to end up in a hospital bed, like it or not... (unless you dont intend to give birth)... and how thankful i am for everything.... that my friends and family or people around me for that matter, are healthy and hopefully happy...
That how come people come into my life miraculously, totally out of the blue. Which i have come to think of as fate. How you mould your life to what you want it to be like...
With that, i end off with the song "Fly Away" by Corrinne May.. my all time favourite...

When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer
to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
Silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
