I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I love your Grandma so.

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said :

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again

I'll be loving you
Love, Me."

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her, his eyes fill up with tears

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again

I'll be loving you
Love, Me."






Went to bai nian with Zhi Kian and Co. Went to Zhi Kian's place first then went to walk around the area.. Slacked at someplace then went to slack at coffee shop nearby blk 126. Then went to Peter's place.. After some time, went to Hong Xiong's place. Watched 'Little Nonya's Big Reunion' there as well.. After that, went downstairs to meet Jess, then they went to blk 79 leaving me, Zhi Kian and Chu Han.. Then went to my place and went to 'Cheers' to buy some tidbits.. Slacked for awhile then went home... Zhi Kian and Chu Han went to blk 78 to slack with the rest of the Co.


Should I give up ? I see no point...
