Have I Forgotten?

I used to remember the date 12th December (12-12) every year and talk about it, but what had changed me? Why I couldn’t recall the meaning of 12-12 this year? Have I forgotten my beloved one? It should not happen this way, no!

When I was having good time in the new Queensbay Mall, *Flintstones Ringing tone*

Mom: …. Today is Pa and Ma’s 35th wedding anniversary, but your Pa has left me. He’s gone….
Me: Ma, are you ok?
Mom: …. Our neighbour opposite our shop is having 60th wedding anniversary dinner soon, we can’t even be together for 35 years. I’m going to hang up. Bye.

As the messenger in the family, immediately I sms all my siblings to talk to mom in every way they can because I’m not really good in comforting my mom in such situation! I remember those days when I kept telling my parents “Pa ah, today is your wedding anniversary la!” and my dad would surely answer me “Aiya, what day also the same la, no special meaning one la…” He’s such a typical man who was trying to cover up his feelings in front of people, but I’m sure deep down inside, it’s a special and meaningful day for him and mom.

Last night before I fell asleep, thought of the “dream wedding” mentioned in one of my conversations…. I started to cry……. All I wish is to have your presence and still remember what you promised me, Pa? It will never be the same without you….
Dear angel, please send my deepest love and warmest regards to my dad.
