Grandpa's Little Girl.

This song made me think of my grandpa, and brought me back to an entry I wrote two years ago.

08 July 2008

This was a man I felt completely safe with, one whom I know will carry the weight of the world, just so I can hide under his wings. A man who gave me the freedom to fly away because he loved me too much to let me stay.

I remember that day when this man laid down on his hospital bed, fragile as a child. And all I could do was to hold his hands, tears rolling down my cheeks like a waterfall, and said for the first time, "Wo Ai Ni Ah-Gong."

Tonight, I miss this man. So terribly badly.

I want to be my Ah-Gong's little girl again. I want to be safe again.
