Happy 56th birthday, Singapore! 🇸🇬
We didn't do anything fanciful today but instead stayed home to have an intimate family celebration. It was a day that I needed because truth be told, I am still trying to mend the pieces and move on slowly but surely.
The kids and I woke up to catch the ceremonial parade together and then my parents came over for lunch. We ordered nasi lemak for takeaway and spent the afternoon looking through my childhood pictures and all the pictures of popo that I compiled (I did it over the past few nights when I couldn't sleep). We talked about the past, talked about her final days, I told my parents about my regrets and guilt, we talked about death - something which we have never done so - but not in a morbid way. In fact, I was thankful to find out what they would like us to do for them when the day comes. The topics were heavy, but in a sense, the chats allowed me to process my grief and loss a little better and I know we are all in it together.
My dad and I then took the kids to the playground and bought bubble tea before we headed home to watch Mr Unbelievable and ate a simple steamboat dinner prepared by the hubby. We managed to take this photo before calling it a night because I now realise more than ever on how pictures are priceless and can mean so much to me.
Thank you, Singapore, for giving me this home and family that I love so much. I'm always so proud to be a part of you. ❤
We did it before, and we'll do it again.
