It's almost a decade I'm staying in this lovely premise I call home. And this reminded me of the very first house warming party we had after we moved in. Grandma was here with us. Grandma was really happy and enjoying the company of all her grand child. We were taking photos of fellow guest. Then grandma asked to take a photo with all of her grand child. We obey her request.
As time moved on, all of us are so busy with schools, new neighborhood, new businesses etc. We were so busy that we forgot to get the films to be developed into photos.
Grandma passed away a year later. She still don't get to see that picture of all her grandchild with herself.
Today, I was packing my bags getting ready to go on my weekend holiday. As I search through my drawers looking for my spare charger, I found my old camera. It reminded me of this incident. I regret not getting things done sooner. Now it's too late. I couldn't find that film. Even if I do, its a 10 years old film. I doubt the pictures are still visible in it. It is indeed my responsible and my negligence. I let grandma leaving this world without fulfilling her wish.
Dear readers who are reading this, if your grandparents still around, please treasure them. They wont be around for long. They wont be able to see you grow old. Do all that you can to please them. Don't regret only when it's too late.
May grandma and grandpa shower me with all the warm blessing from up above. I wish they know how much I miss them and there are nights where I tear myself to bed thinking of all my childhood growing up in their loving arms.
If I could turn back time.....
Nichole Xx
