Bye bye Lao Ma

This is a photo of me with Lao Ma, taken earlier this month during one of our regular Sunday dinners. Six years ago, when Lao Ma knew that I was going to be born, she made a few pilows and bolsters just for me. I love the bolsters and bolster cases very much, as they are very soft and they have flowers on them. I like to make Lao Ma laugh, and I like to draw things for her.



Here is a photo of Lao Ma when she was young, together with her husband and four of her five children. Her youngest child, who is my Lao Ee Edwina, was naughty that day, so Lao Ma had left her at home.



Lao Ma was admitted to hospital last Thursday night, on the same day that Mummy had taken me out of school early so that we could spend an afternoon with her. We visited Lao Ma in hospital on Friday evening as well as on Sunday after our visit to the zoo. Late Sunday afternoon, Ah Ma messaged Mummy to say that Lao Ma had passed away. Today is Lao Ma's funeral. Bye bye Lao Ma, I love you and I will see you in heaven next time.
