It was all planned for X'mas...parties, presents, dinners.... A sudden call just changed everything. I was shocked at the shopping mall. Blank.
We were all grownup. We knew sooner or later it would happen. But when it came, I knew I was never old enough for this. When alone, I just couldn't stop those childhood memory coming up.
I couldn't say we were close since I was more raised by my mother's side. However, my grandpa was the symbol of our huge family, which was everything in my childhood. Each year, 3 events, I saw more than 200 people gathering at that oldie house. He devoted himself to the whole family interlocking work and was one of the major members to organize these events...
What hit me most was the cruel truth that time cannot go back. Even a man so healthy and energetic wouldn't be there waiting for you as you thought he would be. It hit me hard every time that I saw rinkles of my parents.
Anyway, I should go back to places in my memory and take some pictures before everything changes.
